Description and Reviews
From The Publisher:

Founded during World War II, the Harvard Business School's Advanced Management Program (AMP) is an exhausting 10-week boot camp (six days a week, 14 hours a day) that teaches the best and the brightest how to survive in the highly competitive and combative global marketplace. What readers will learn is substantial:

creating a sustainable, competitive advantage
managing for a world of changes yet to come
establishing enduring brand and corporate positioning
negotiating global transactions
mastering conflict in the global arena

and much more. These closely guarded lessons in EXTREME MANAGEMENT provide an unprecedented opportunity to learn the work models, strategic perspectives, and visioning exercises that separate exceptional managers from the mass of middle managers who fail to rise above the pack.
