ABOUT THE BOOK
This book is for anyone with ambitions to scale their impact at work in Asia. As a leader in Asia, you’re standing at the edge of greatness - as an individual, a team, and an organization. This is a fast-growing market that truly resonates with mobile first, with a large and growing population that is incredibly young. Universal access to knowledge and technology is empowering the individual to be a powerful force for positive change in the world. So why do we feel so powerless?
Every day, you are under immense pressure to perform at the top of your game. But perfection is such a fragile thing. It’s not something you can cling on to, no matter how hard you work. Instead, you end up overwhelmed and burnt out. Somehow, somewhere, you got derailed. Where did you lose your edge? And more importantly, how do you get it back?
This book will bring you into the corridors of power in Asia, the pantheon of the gods in the modern world. We dive into the murky depths of the minds of the most powerful individuals in organizations. I hope these incredible stories will not only engage your mind but inspire your corner-office lust when you realize that you, in fact, every one of us, are born for greatness.
To dance on the edge of greatness.
