Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Great leaders have been the stuff of many business books over the years with authors often promising to deliver THE key ingredients that can guarantee the readers success in their own careers.

As we all know by now, there is no "secret sauce". But there are a number of "recipes for success" with specific ingredients that if applied, may smooth the path upward.

These recipes are the result of conversations with foreign-born (as well as US) Silicon Valley/US entrepreneurs who tell it as it is. Each leader tells a unique, personal story of how s/he came to the US and ultimately made it.

If you plan to immigrate to the U.S. and establish yourself in Silicon Valley, or if you are just curious to find out what make these extraordinary individuals tick, you can listen to these foreign-born professionals and gain personal insight into the fulfillment of their ambitions and dreams.

5.0 out of 5 stars An inspirational book for entrepreneurs, January 27, 2008
By Ale (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
As the facilitator of one of Silicon Valley key Executive Network, Dr Angelika Blendstrup was able to interview some of the key leaders of the Silicon Valley, the most dynamic business technology center of the world. This book brings us into the brain, heart and soul of successful men and women, and by extension shows us how we can ourselves reach outstanding achievements. A must-read book for all high-tech entrepreneurs and executives to-be.

4.0 out of 5 stars I Read It!, January 22, 2008
By Mira Guzijan (San Francisco, CA, USA) - See all my reviews
Raised by immigrant parents, particularly as an engineer's daughter, I was eager to read the success stories of other foreign born professionals. Dr. Blendstrup's interviews capture the drive and determination of bright and passionate business men and women. This series is perfect for anyone interested in learning practical how-to recipes directly from a varied group of top-notch executives.
