Success by Determination

In the era of swift change and unremitting uncertainty, the challenge for executives and entrepreneurs is not only how to avoid crisis, but mainly how to weather and defy adversity. Dr. Stoltz shows that success in converting adversities into profitable opportunities is related to our ability to move forward despite what appears to be insurmountable obstacles. Thus, navigators of large enterprises or entrepreneurial startups should read this book for it provides theory-based accounts on how to develop and harness human perseverance. Such personal determination affects not only career choices but also the success with which actions are pursued and executed, which in turn fortifies one's own AQ. My empirical research in the area of innovation management validates and provides scientific support for this theory. Higher AQ is not a fad; it is associated with higher personal success.- Gideon D.
