WORLD CHANGERS

John A. Byrne

25 Entrepreneurs Who Changed Business as We Knew It

What if you could sit down with some of the world's most influential entrepreneurs and gain their knowledge and insights on how to create a game changing business?
They are the descendents of Andrew Carnegie, Thomas Edison, and Henry Ford visionaries who built exceptional enterprises from the bottom up. Great entrepreneurs mix creativity and imaginations with managerial knowhow and financial acumen to change the way we live and work. John A. Byrne has interviewed twenty-five amazing entrepreneurs who have changed the face of business. From Amazon's Jeff Bezos to Howard Schultz of Starbucks to many others whose names are less famous. Byrne explores the most important lesson they've learned, thebiggest challenges they've tackled, and the most valuable advice they can offer. This book serves as both a celebration of entrepreneurial achievement as well as a practical handbook for current and would-be entrepreneurs. John A. Byrne's distinguished magazine career included periods as executive editor of BusinessWeek, editor-in-chief of Fast Company, and associate editor at Forbes. He is now the founder of C-Change Media, a digital media company that is building a network of websites and blogs in business niches. He is the author or co-author of eight previous books, including Jack: Straight from the Gut, with Jack Welch.
