Editorial : "Jeanne Liedtka has dedicated herself for years—with passion and rigor—to an inspired concept: people can build pockets of greatness deep inside any organization. Growth leadership is a choice, not a blessing from above—a choice made by largely unknown heroes who create exceptional enterprises, no matter what the bureaucratic obstacles. By studying these remarkable internal entrepreneurs and lending fresh insight as to how they achieve success, she has done the world of management a tremendous service." --Jim Collins, author of Good to Great and coauthor of Built to Last
"Bob Rosen, Jeanne Liedtka, and Rob Wiltbank unlock the secret to growth in today's turbulent and uncertain times. The Catalyst is a must-read book for all leaders of the twenty-first century." --Marshall Goldsmith, bestselling author of What Got You There Won'
The book begins with a twenty-seven page introduction by Jerome Kohn, the editor and actual architect of the Arendt writings which comprise this book.
The first half of the book consists of five chapters. What an amazing story of a woman compelled to follow her spirit across the miles. The book covers the technical developments that made broadcast radio possible and ends with RCA being acquired by General Electric in 1985.
DeForest billed himself as "The Father of Radio," but we learn he was a tinkerer who did not understand how the audion tube worked. I'm looking forward to what other tools I'll discover in this little gem.. At the end of every chapter, there's a chapter test that will let you know how well you are truly grasping the concepts.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who's been out of school for a while and needs a more detailed refresher
