Powerful Lessons from Leaders
Who Endured Setbacks and Recaptured Success on Their Terms By Andrea Redmond and Patricia Crisafulli
Insight from leaders who experienced major setbacks and redefined success
In tough economic times, when careers are derailed and leaders are forced to rewrite their professional plans, this book enlightens and uplifts. Comebacks features an all-star cast of ten leaders who endured setbacks-for some a public fall in the midst of media scrutiny-then reassessed and moved ahead with new purpose. Based on revealing interviews, the book presents a behind-the–headlines glimpse into the lives of leaders; how they drew upon resources, both internal and external, to move on; and the lessons that helped them redefine success.

Without the profanity and showmanship, Jamie, within the world of business, reminds me most of George S. Patton, America's premiere WWll battlefield general. Both read history, prepared meticulously and lead from the front - innovatively and instinctively. Both were confrontational. When asked what unit they had served in during the War, most members of the Third Army responded proudly and simply "I was with Patton." Perhaps one day those at JP Morgan will say the same.
