Globalization, a new generation entering the workplace, the mobile revolution and the consumer-driven economy dominating the next economic cycle – managers and executives need to meet these challenges and their consequences head-on and without fear.
However, help and guidance is at hand. Pekka Viljakainen and Mark Mueller-Eberstein have been at the cutting-edge of business organizations and their leadership for the past 15 years. In their book, NO FEAR, they bring together a global group of executives and thought leaders to provide unique and timely insights and advice for current and next generation business leaders.
What NO FEAR will offer:
