<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Not all that rises must fall. What a comforting and inspiring thought for the reader! Well-informed, entertaining, and chock-full of practical advice, this book is an essential read."--Christian Velmer, SVP at Pfizer.izer.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><strong>A Glimpse Behind the Facade of Success</strong><p><strong>In <em>The Illusion of Invincibility</em></strong>, Paul Williams and Andreas Krebs take a no-punches-held look at the stories we tell ourselves about business success. The rags-to-riches tale is tempting, but we don't have to search far to see that most organizations rise for a time, only to experience a dramatic fall from grace. Just look at some of the companies that used to be household names: Nokia, AOL, Pan Am, Woolworth and Blockbuster.</p><p><strong>Move from good to great.</strong> You'll learn the secrets to clear-eyed, value-driven leadership with stories from top managers from international companies, major family businesses, start-ups, consulting firms, the public sector, and NGOs. They offer lessons on how to be a successful and reflective boss in an age of digitization and disruption. Each chapter includes a "stress test" to help you to take an honest look at your own organization and yourself.</p><p><strong>Can leaders today be inspired by the Incas?</strong> You may be surprised. When the authors added a few days to a business trip to Peru, instead of relaxing, they found themselves exploring one of the greatest civilizations in human history...with unexpected lessons about successful businesses and great leadership.</p><p><strong><em>The Illusion of Invincibility</em> examines the why of success and failure.</strong> It's a smart, funny, and radical look at how to build and sustain a great organization, inspired by those who have done it well...in today's world and five hundred years ago.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>"Not all that rises must fall.
