Author Michael W. Wright has written a book for serious executives with an introduction and first chapter that race the reader forward at a breakneck speed and bring them back to a place no other business book has taken. This is definitely not the kind of global business book crowding the bookstore and library shelves. Rather, Michael Wright and contributing author Walter J. Ferguson have produced a book that boldly risks taking readers down the bumpy paths and unwelcoming highways business leaders face.
Michael W. Wright, a 25-year veteran of high technology industries, has served in a broad range of leadership roles at Integrated Air Systems, General Signal (GCA, Ultratech), Integrated Solutions, and Empak.
