Traditionally companies have just sought shareholder value; this is what is taught at leading business schools worldwide. Millennial customers, however, are taking a more holistic approach to consumption, and demanding that companies produce products and services that serve a greater purpose, rather than simply shareholder value. In this fascinating book, Tsolkas shows how crises can foment innovation that create shareholder values in purposeful ways that are more than just lip service. Jonathan Levav, Professor of Marketing at Stanford Graduate School of Business, Palo Alto, California, USA This is an eye opener, how companies today can differentiate and grow while helping the world to become a better place. A recommended read from cover to cover. Dr. Nicolas Durand, CEO Abionic, Lausanne, Switzerland 'Christos is a genuine believer in his theory 'purpose rising from crisis' which is carved from firsthand experience. He presents his mantra in an honest manner and each reader is certain to extract their own personal gem from this treasure trove. Naava Mashiah, Author, Private Equity/Wealth Management expert, Geneva, Switzerland Sometimes, crises come into our lives. They are troubling, unwanted, take us out of our comfort zone. We typically find ourselves wanting desperately to get back to comfort, out of the unknown. Though there is no going back but, usually, that is where the opportunity lies. Ultimately, the question is whether we choose to freeze in panic or embrace this opportunity. The Gift of Crisis is a brilliant real story with insights and practical instruments to use in order to ride the waves of change and turn it into opportunity. Highly recommend to leaders who are looking for their 'blue oceans'. Anna Derevyanko, Executive Director European Business Association, Kyiv, Ukraine Christos donates a transcendental view on crises and their relationship to us. His book provides a much-needed philosophical system for contextualizing the significance of the perpetuity of adverse events and the confluence of crises. He has taken the time to diligently study the 'new norm' of persistent volatility and draft an aspirational manual for us all. Thomas Antoniadis, Managing Director Critical Publics, London UK Having seen Christos deal with multiple crises as an international executive, I was very pleased to see that he decided to share his learnings and insights with the world and write this book. I know his book will be of great help to all those seeking to take their leadership skills to a new level of conceptualization. Greg Krasnov, Serial Entrepreneur, Founder and CEO Forum Capital, Singapore Christos Tsolkas has written a must-read primer for those that MIGHT go through a crisis. After reading this book you will have a roadmap and the confidence to sail through it with Purpose. Trini Amador, Author, Managing Director, Global Brand Marketer, BHC Consulting, San Francisco, CA
