Author Robert Slater, who studied great business leaders for decades, interviewed Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer, those who work for them and those who compete against them. The result is a series of telling verbal snapshots of highly intelligent men trying to redefine themselves and their company while staying on top of their industry. The book focuses on Microsoft's landmark change during a time of extreme corporate crisis - specifically the two years following the U.S. Justice Department's 2002 decision regarding anti-trust charges against the company. This saga of transition is compelling, though some will be frustrated that Slater doesn't always give enough detail about how certain fundamental decisions were made, including the articulation and application of core values. Once you start reading, you, too, will wish for more particulars. We recommend this book to those interested in seeing how one of the world's most successful companies dealt with massive change, and to those who are living through corporate transitions of their own.
