Why read?

Most business books tell you how to succeed. This one tells you how to survive when everything goes wrong. Through raw, honest stories from his time as a CEO, Horowitz shares hard-earned wisdom about the challenges that can sink even promising companies - from laying off friends to managing your own psychology. You'll learn practical strategies for navigating the most difficult decisions that leaders face, the ones business school never prepares you for. If you're building or running a company, this book is like having a battle-hardened mentor who's been through every nightmare scenario and lived to tell about it.
