No Fear of Failure (PDF)

Candid conversations with top leaders around the world on how
they approached pitvotal moments in their careers

No Fear of Failure offers insightful, candid conversations with
some of the world's top leaders in business, politics, education,
and philanthropy--each giving a first-person account of how
they approached crucial, career defining moments. Gary Burnison,
CEO of Korn/Ferry International, the world's largest executive
recruiting firm, sits down one-on-one with a highly select and
elite corps, and together they openly discuss how they handled
(often very publicly) war, economic downturn, corporate turnover,
and even retirement. Together these world-class leaders show the
risks one must be willing to take, as well as the vision,
resilience, and compassion necessary to lead.
