Behind the Mountain: A Corporate Survival Book

0/5 ( ratings)

If you want to be alone, try a blizzard. Where you are cut off and numbed to the bone by silent, deep cold; where you try and rest facing a tree trunk, trying to get through the night; knowing your feet are frozen inside your wet boots. Where every thought is given to getting out of this, keeping up your courage, keeping your blood moving.

You do this by thinking about those you love and who love you. You do it by praying, and knowing that good people are out there trying to find you.

In Nick Williams' case there was something else: training and experience in the corporate environment. He called on what it had taken him to be highly successful in business. He survived by exploiting sound principles of commitment, attitude, resourcefulness, perseverance, and teamwork. In this corporate survival book, you'll find the finest practical advice on how to handle yourself in tough spots, be they life threatening to you, or threatening to your job performance or the company itself. Read and learn.

Behind the Mountain: A Corporate Survival Book is a compilation of transcribed actual comments by the key players in the crisis as they work through how they handled it. All other comments and observations are Nick's and worth reading more than once.
