The great Nokia turnaround--universal business lessons for leaders in any industry. Nokia once
dominated the smartphone industry. It was to mobile phones as Kleenex is to facial tissues.
Then iPhones and Androids appeared out of nowhere and pushed Nokia off the cliff. In just four
years the company lost over 90 percent of its value. Revenues were in freefall massive
layoffs became common. Pundits predicted that bankruptcy wasn't a matter of if it was a matter
of when. Then something equally shocking occurred. In record time Nokia bounced back. With a
vengeance. Nokia reinvented itself and is now the second-biggest player in the $100
billion-dollar global wireless market. Nokia's comeback--Chairman of the Board Risto
Siilasmaa--reveals the story of Nokia's fall and resurrection. He reveals the inside story of
the collapse and provides survival strategies and change-management methods any business leader
can take to the bank. You'll learn how to harness the power of what Siilasmaa calls 'paranoid
optimism' and apply his winning entrepreneurial leadership model to rise above any challenge
and drive sustainable success. Whether you lead a team or a corporate division head a start-up
or a massive organization and whether your business is on the rocks or running smoothly
Transforming Nokia provides everything you need to sharpen your foresight expand your options
