Candid conversations with top leaders around the world on how
they approached pitvotal moments in their careers
No Fear of Failure offers insightful, candid conversations with
some of the world’s top leaders in business, politics, education,
and philanthropy–each giving a first-person account of how
they approached crucial, career defining moments. Gary Burnison,
CEO of Korn/Ferry International, the world’s largest executive
recruiting firm, sits down one-on-one with a highly select and
elite corps, and together they openly discuss how they handled
(often very publicly) war, economic downturn, corporate turnover,
and even retirement. Together these world-class leaders show the
risks one must be willing to take, as well as the vision,
resilience, and compassion necessary to lead.
* Includes original interviews with Michael Bloomberg, Carlos
Slim, Eli Broad, Indra Nooyi, Drew Gilpin Faust, Anne Mulcahy,
Vincente Fox, Lt. General Franklin L. ‚Buster‘ Hagenbeck, Coach
John Mc Kissick, Liu Chuanzhi, Daniel Vasella, and Olli-Pekka
Kallasvuo

compassion, resilience, competitiveness, purpose, humility,
team-building skills, entrepreneurial spirit, perseverance,
self-awareness, empowerment, and being a catalyst
Taking readers into executive suites, government offices,
battlefields, and football fields, No Fear of Failure shows how
