Leadership the Hard Way presents a method of living and
working that can truly facilitate the learning of leadership. Their
method shows how to go against the current, fight conventional
wisdom, and embrace the unexpected. It is about trusting oneself
and valuing intuition, principles, and imagination as much as hard
skills and analysis. Frohman combines his counterintuitive ideas
with experiences from his own background?from escaping the Nazis as
a child to becoming a leading innovator in the semiconductor
industry?to show how readers can build their own leadership
abilities. A leader?s values and personality, he ultimately
reveals, are the only sure source of stability in a world of
continuous change.
