Insight from leaders who experienced major setbacks and redefined
success
In tough economic times, when careers are derailed and leaders are
forced to rewrite their professional plans, this book enlightens and
uplifts. Comebacks features an all-star cast of ten leaders who
endured setbacks-for some a public fall in the midst of media
scrutiny-then reassessed and moved ahead with new purpose. Based on
revealing interviews, the book presents a behind-the-headlines glimpse
into the lives of leaders; how they drew upon resources, both internal
and external, to move on; and the lessons that helped them redefine
success. Leaders profiled include:
- Jacques Nasser, former CEO of Ford Motor Co., recently appointed
Chairman of BHP Billiton, the world's largest natural resources
company
- Patricia Dunn, former Chair of Hewlett-Packard, vilified for her
alleged role in corporate espionage only to be exonerated from all
charges, today active in philanthropy
- Jamie Dimon (JP Morgan), Herbert "Pug" Winokur (Enron Corp.), David
Neeleman (JetBlue), and more
Redmond, a top executive recruiter, and Crisafulli, author of The House
of Dimon, show how all leaders face adversity, but true leaders turn
adversity into success.
