You Cant Predict a Hero: From War to Wall Street, Leading in Times of Crisis

You Can′t Predict a Hero
From War to Wall Street, Leading in Times of Crisis
Joseph J. Grano, Jr. with Mark Levine
Foreword by Lee Iacocca
"Joe Grano is one of America′s great business leaders. There′s no one better at leading in a time of crisis."
—Lee Iacocca
"I have read many books on ′leadership.′ Joe Grano′s You Can′t Predict a Hero is, quite simply, the best by far. This is a terrific book, for the story it tells, for the lessons it teaches, and for the solutions it offers. I recommend it highly."
—George Pataki, former governor of New York
"Whatever the challenge—the market crash of ′87, the LTCM (Long–Term Capital Management) crisis, 9/11—Joe Grano is a natural–born leader and he takes charge."
—Richard Grasso, former chairman of the New York Stock Exchange
"The first time we didn′t listen to Joe′s advice was the last time we didn′t listen to Joe′s advice. Joe Grano is a believer, a patriot, and above all, a great friend."
—Frankie Valli and Bob Gaudio
"Joe Grano′s leadership skills were proven in Vietnam. He was simply the best. He′s a recognized warrior, not only in combat but in the boardroom as well. Joe is a true Special Forces soldier."
—Lewis C. Merletti, director (retired), United States Secret Service, 5th Special Forces Group Vietnam 1969–1970
