All Hands on Deck

More about the book

Beginning with the riveting, true story of Massachusetts clipper ship Captain Josiah Nickerson Knowles who saved his crew and all but one passenger during not one but two shipwrecks in the Pacific, Boni demonstrates how adversity should be embraced, rather than avoided. In interviews with five prominent executives who triumphed over difficulties in the fields of consumer products, healthcare, biotech, non-profit and academia, we understand the thinking and actions necessary to get and keep organizations out of trouble and onto solid ground.
