House Management

While many people talk about the path to the top of organizations, very few are honest about how difficult it is to stay at that position. R. Gopalakrishnan analyzes the "software" challenges, which leaders confront every day, and shares the insights he has gained developing, managing, investing in, and supervising a variety of companies.
