Synopsis
In the fiercely competitive, high-risk world of big business, comparatively few survive the arduous climb to the top-and fewer still remain there. Those who do are not only smart, dedicated, and driven professionals, but also visionaries whose innovative ideas and ability to bring those ideas to fruition have left indelible imprints on the business landscape. Five such extraordinary individuals now share their insights and experiences with journalist Gretchen Morgenson, Senior Editor at Forbes magazine, in Forbes Great Minds of Business, a unique collection of conversations. With exceptional business acumen, extraordinary resiliency, and a strong sense of commitment, these great minds of business have achieved levels of success unmatched in their fields. They have survived and thrived during an era roiled by transformation, keeping their fortunes-and their reputations-intact at a time when either can be ruined more quickly than made. They have brought about monumental change, introducing groundbreaking products and services. Very simply, they have transformed the way American business is conducted. In fascinating, one-on-one dialogues, these industry icons speak with complete candor and refreshing humility. The revealing interviews encompass not only their work, but their individual motivations and fears, their past achievements, and their future goals. Together, these leaders exemplify the qualities essential to prevailing in today2s business world: ambition, focus, perseverance, and humor. Representing such discrete arenas of business as management, entrepreneurship, investing, marketing, and finance, the great minds of business are: Andrew Grove: the vibrant head of Intel, considered among the best corporate managers in America. A brilliant strategist, he skillfully guided his company through several potentially devastating crises, including a brush with bankruptcy. Fred Smith: a true visionary who conceived the idea for Federal Express more than 30 years ago. Today, his $11 billion company is at the forefront of the express mail industry, delivering more than 2 million pounds of packages daily, and employing 500 planes, 36,000 trucks, and 120,000 workers. Peter Lynch: the investment guru, and a genius at picking stocks. He managed Fidelity2s Magellan Fund for 13 years, consistently beating the stock market averages, and turned it into the nation2s largest mutual fund. Pleasant Rowland: the founder of Pleasant Company and the American Girl Collection(r) sits atop a doll, clothing, and publishing empire worth more than $250 million. Paul Volcker: arguably the most famous-and influential-chairman of the Federal Reserve. He laid the foundation for the biggest wealth-creating bull market the United States has ever known. An informative, inspirational, and instructive look at what it takes to succeed and thrive in today2s business world, Forbes Great Minds of Business presents five prominent figures who have done both admirably. This rare compilation is a probing, provocative, and thoroughly entertaining look at these unique personalities and their singular achievements.
