Mr. Terry C. Graves

A Special Breed (Lighthouse Leaderships Series) Mr. Terry C. Graves 第1 版

In this fascinating new book, Terry Graves takes a look at success from the inside. The lessons here are not outsider case studies, but Graves? own insider take on what makes that special breed of entrepreneur. How was FedEx able to change the way we do business? How did the founder of Harvard?s first rock n? roll band turn a backwater investment firm into a publicly traded juggernaut with more than 2,500 offices worldwide? How did a man who predicted that his Harvard classmates headed to Wall Street would be driving taxis in five years come to redefine the way the financial industry shares information? We live in a society where great ideas fail everyday. Illustrated through his personal and professional relationships with the people behind some of his generation?s most successful ideas, Graves argues that it is not the business plan, but the personality behind it, that counts. Looking back on an investment banking career touching some of the biggest names in the industry, Graves examines his network of friends, classmates and colleagues who make up A Special Breed.
