Throughout a business career that spanned more than 40 years, executive Ingar Skaug sought to answer a vital question: "What is world-class leadership and how do we live it?" In Make the Leap, he shares the answers gained from his own leadership journey with some of the world's most influential companies. In this autobiography, Skaug, a native of Norway, recounts a lifetime of adventures that began with crisscrossing the globe solo as a child. It later included intense negotiations with the Teamsters union in the United States and rebuilding a shipping company that had lost much of its senior management in a shocking airplane crash. "It didn't take me long to realize that if a manager wants to achieve results, he must dare to fail," Skaug writes. With great candor, thoughtfulness, and insight, he closely examines the successes and failures from his own career - offering readers not only a compelling story of a life in global business but also the benefit of hard-won leadership wisdom.
