Praise for Leadership the Hard Way
"If leadership is defined by the number and quality of followers, and by their ability to do better than they--or anyone else--thought possible, Dov Frohman's career is the epitome of leadership. This book portrays his style--pragmatic, unassuming, persistent--in a genuine and entertaining way. Reading it is like going along for the ride."
--Andy Grove, former CEO, Intel Corporation and author, Only the Paranoid Survive
"Dov Frohman and Robert Howard say that leadership cannot be taught--at least not in classes and slides--but it can be learned, especially in turbulent times, with brilliance and open-spiritedness.?Our best evidence is Frohman himself, whose fascinating decisions--as computer scientist and pioneer CEO--stud this stimulating, practical, elegant book."
--Bernard Avishai, contributing editor, Harvard Business Review and author, The Hebrew Republic: How Secular Democracy and Global Enterprise Will Bring Israel Peace At Last
"Leadership the Hard Way reads like a report from the front by a solider who is a hero. A must-read for leaders in today's tough and uncertain economy."
--George Stalk, senior partner, The Boston Consulting Group and author, Hardball: Are You Playing to Play or Playing to Win?
"In a highly personal style, yet with nuanced insight and useful principles, Frohman and Howard expertly navigate the necessary tensions of leading on the edge: how to be both an insider and an outsider, stay true to a vision yet listen to dissent, see things differently in order to do things differently. I could not put this book down."
--John Seely Brown, former chief scientist, Xerox Corporation and former director, Xerox PARC; coauthor, The Social Life of Information and The Only Sustainable Edge
