About this title

Synopsis

Dr. Curtis J. Crawford’s book Corporate Rise provides detailed insight into extreme personal leadership by outlining a strategy for high aspiration individuals to become X-Leaders. They have a passion for developing people and find imaginative ways to inspire people to excel. X-Leaders cultivate creativity, are customer-centric, and drive their companies with decisions grounded in facts. They are visionaries who anticipate the future and have confidence in the abilities of their people. X-Leaders convert the energy generated by chaos into better decisions, believe that the company comes first, and insist on teamwork. X-Leaders are role models and expect greatness. X-Leadership is personified through Dr. Crawford’s executive and board experience including various senior positions at companies such as IBM, DuPont, Agilysys, AT&T, Lucent, ON Semiconductors, ITT, Zilog, ONIX, Lyondell and DePaul University.
