This book aims to show CEOs how to achieve the impossible. Based on a study of 70 companies that managed to accomplish incredibly
ambitious goals, it offers a straightforward and, for the most part, lucid set of guiding principles to reach
breakthrough success. Author Bill Davidson anchors his prescription in the experiences of real companies and illustrates each point with copious anecdotes. Although he strays now and then into the jargon of the academic tribe, these
digressions are rare and excusable. His case histories and tactical advice offer something of value to every CEO or senior manager. getAbstract.com recommends this book to executives whose companies are trapped in strategic dead-ends and desperate to blast out, or to executives who would rather act before a crisis really blossoms.
