Businesses make millions of small decisions every day. Sometimes they add up to success; other times failure. But once in a great while a leader makes a truly game-changing decision that shifts not only the strategy of a single company but how everyone does business. These big decisions are often counter-intuitive, and involve drama, doubt, and high tension. Harnish provides the background stories of some great business decisions, and gives you a glimpse into the thought processes leading up to these moments. -- from Publisher description
