‘Andy defines leadership in the modern age and Tedlow captures it perfectly’—Eric Schmidt, CEO, Google Inc.Andy Grove is the best role model we have for doing business in the twenty-first century. The most consistent and important theme of Grove’s life is how he responds to change: boldly, quickly and with every scrap of his intelligence but no respect for conventional wisdom.
The chairman and CEO of Intel in its years of explosive growth, Andy Grove is one of the world’s most admired business people. During his career, Intel became the model for Silicon Valley; Silicon Valley became the model for the world; and Grove became Time’s Man of the Year— an icon of the promise of American life.
This definitive biography, by a Harvard Business School professor with unprecedented access, is not just a gripping life story. It is also a fascinating insight into who Andy Grove really is, how his mind works, how he attacks impossible problems and how he leads others to exceed their own expectations.
After extensive and meticulous research, Richard S. Tedlow has produced the most complete picture ever of this fascinating, colourful, often brilliant but sometimes maddening genius. This is a must-read for anyone who cares about technology or leadership.
‘This book transcends the ‘learn from the successful CEO’ genre just as Intel’s performance under Grove transcended the normal corporate landscape’
—Robert J. Dolan, Dean, Ross School of Business, University of Michigan
‘Andy recognized the future and helped make it happen. I have benefited from his insight and skills over the years as have millions of consumers throughout the world’
—Michael Dell, Chairman, Dell Inc.
