"Much has been written on leadership and one can find various scientific, expert, and popular books on this topic, probably not without reason, as ensuring quality leadership is undoubtedly one of the most difficult of tasks. Yet there are few books revealing the wisdom of leaders who have tested themselves in practice and who can and know how to tell the story of their personal development. Being a leader in times when political and economic systems are changing, when you find yourself in a newly independent country and need to build almost from the start a whole new network of business partners, when you have to deal with frequent changes in company ownership, culture, and values, while you have to handle the same competitive challenges as leaders in stable, developed countries - all of these require the ability to constantly reinvent the ways one conducts business and leads people. These lessons can be valuable for anyone leading in turbulent times." - Prof. Nada Zupan, Faculty of Economics, University of Ljubljana.
