About the Book
Any short list of the world's most admired business people would include Andy Grove, the chairman and CEO of Intel during its years of explosive growth. Despite decades of media scrutiny and six of Grove's own books, there remains a powerful element of mystery about him. this definitive biography, by a Harvard Business School professor with unprecedented access, finally cracks the code of who Andy Grove really is, how is mind works, how he attacks impossible problems and how he leads others to exceed their own expectations of themselves.
