The entrepreneur Time magazine called “the Bad Boy of banking” is back with crucial insights about the importance of business culture in a dizzyingly complex global marketplace.
In business, breaking rules is easy. What’s really hard is what comes next: learning how to create, identify, and sustain a culture. It’s the lifeblood of effective leadership. And we aren’t using it the way we should. The world is complex.
Everyone and everything is moving faster. When we might have once had time to reflect, we barely have time to react. For a business leader, the consequences of getting it wrong in a competitive 24/7 global marketplace are dire. Second chances? Forget about it.
Above the Clouds is entrepreneur and CEO Arkadi Kuhlmann’s seasoned antidote to navigating blind through our increasingly competitive landscape.
