What Makes a Good Entrepreneur?

I write this book because careers are on top of people minds, even more after 2020. The lifespan of a company was 60 years in 1960 and it is under 20 years today. The career span of an individual was 25 to 30 years in 1960 and is closer to 30 to 40 years today. Today, an individual’s career span is more than company life span. Having a good career requires many things to work in tandem context and timing are important. Sheer craft alone does not ensure success. A career is lived forwards but understood backwards, once you are nearly done with it. I have covered 10 dilemmas in this book, starting from a management trainee or a junior manager all the way up to a Managing Director. I have got 24 excellent and experienced professionals to talk about the dilemmas they faced and their stories are in the book.
