You Can’t Predict a Hero [EPUB ebook] 
From War to Wall Street, Leading in Times of Crisis

The unique story of Wall Street legend Joe Grano–six
defining moments in courage, leadership, and determination that
will inspire readers of every age, and at every stage in life
From Vietnam to 9/11, from the market crash of ’87 to today’s
financial crisis, Wall Street legend Joe Grano has weathered the
most defining crises of the last forty years. Whether leading
draftees through combat as a Green Beret in Vietnam, regrouping a
team of brokers during the market crash of 1987, or working
tirelessly to reopen Wall Street after the attacks on 9/11, Joe has
served at the front lines of our nation’s most defining moments,
leading and even inspiring others when things seem at their
darkest.
Structured around six specific crises he faced in his life and
career, You Can’t Predict a Hero will describe how Grano was
able to triumph over challenges both personal and professional.
Whether teaching himself to walk again after sustaining crippling
battle wounds, rising from his hardscrabble beginnings to become a
top broker at Merrill Lynch, or shepherding the merger of
Paine Webber and UBS, his experience has been hard-won and his
perspective like no one else’s.
Through it all, Grano has learned to find the opportunity in any
crisis, how to calm and inspire those he leads, and how to find the
real solution to what can appear as an insurmountable problem.
This dynamic book will inspire anyone looking to make sense of
our rapidly changing world, and how to grow and even thrive through
any challenge. Problems require solutions, and crisis creates true
leaders.
