Equanimity: The Diary of a CEO in Crisis
Equanimity: The Diary of a CEO in Crisis features conversations with 50 entrepreneurs
For Simon Leslie, founder and chief executive of Ink – the world’s largest publisher of in-flight travel magazines – the global pandemic threatened to destroy the company he’d spent 27 years building as its revenue went from £150 million to zero overnight. Penned over this tumultuous time, Leslie’s book is a personal reflection on how he kept “feeding his positive dog” and learnt the biggest lessons of his career during the global crisis. Featuring conversations from other big time CEOs, speakers and authors like Jordan ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ Belfort, Tim Storey and Heather Monahan, this is an insider guide on how to weather disaster and come out the other side on top.
Equanimity: The Diary of a CEO in Crisis by Simon Leslie is available to buy now as hardcover, paperback or audiobook.
