This guide offers a different approach from the misleading formulae for success offered by much self-help business literature. The authors believe that in today's turbulent competitive environment, it is necessary to embrace uncertainty and set more realistic expectations.

From the Publisher:

“In this gem of a book, the authors encourage us to embrace uncertainty when it appears, to indeed seek it out when it's absent and to work with it to optimize our business flexibility. A must-read for those who aspire to lead.” –Jeff Bleustein, CEO, Harley-Davidson

“This book is virtually unassailable in concept, instructive in demeanor, and a logical approach to the new leadership required to survive and thrive in the new millennium.” – Patrick J. Copps, CEO, Copps Industries

“The authors have written a provocative, interesting, and easy-to-read book that will prove most useful to nearly everyone in the workplace, regardless of where they may be in the pecking order. Especially valuable is the incorporation of real-world examples that make their case for embracing uncertainty.” – Tim Meyer, University of Wisconsin, Madison
