This strong precise outlook reflects different aspects of different sides of the business spectrum. It's a truly positive look at successful businesses and the great minds behind them. Grove, Smith, Lynch, Rowland, & Volcker all share insights & directions in a volatile era. With Gretchen Morgenson, Senior Editor at Forbes magazine, letting these truly gifted individuals openly express ideas, predictions and success fortitudes. Forbes Great Minds made a lasting impression on me. It was great to listens to these fascinating people in an informal interview. To pick up one new idea and one new lesson is worth the time spent, but too generate the detailed information they provided is extraordinary.

One way we can learn from the great successes of others is to model their approach to life. This book has revealing interviews with known successes of the business world. They each explain how they overcame adversity while driving toward their goals.

The feeling I get from this book is that others have faced problems far greater that mine - no comparison. Somehow many have succeeded despite every conceivable type of adversity. There is always something one can do to take responsibility for their situation and accomplish something.

I recommend this book with the caveat that it will hold one's interest far better when exposure to interviews is limited to one or two at a time.
