Why do many people and companies crumble in the face of

difficulty, while others use adversity to bounce back even

stronger? Here from New York Times bestselling author Keith

McFarland is a leadership fable for those wary of fables, a story

that rejects pat, heard-it-before advice and shows–in a startlingly

fresh way–how to use challenges to make both yourself and your

organization stronger.

Mike Maloney, division manager for Boston-area tech firm CRX,

returns from a business trip late one night feeling demoralized.

His unit is about to lose its biggest customer and its most

valuable employee. Mike wonders how much longer he and his staff

can keep up their relentless work schedule and meet upper

management’s new request for cost cuts. Something has to give.

Hoping to blow off steam, he heads to a gym, where he runs into

Joe, a former army Ranger.

After listening to Mike vent about the cards he’s been dealt, the

ex-soldier says, "Sounds like your company is ready to bounce."

Mike looks confused, so Joe begins tutoring him in lessons from the

battlefield. It is precisely when all seems lost, says Joe, that

the opportunity exists to rethink a situation and make real

progress.

Over the next two weeks, Joe turns Mike’s view of himself and his

company upside down. Despite his Ivy League MBA and extensive

experience running companies, Mike has a lot to learn from this

young grunt just back from Afghanistan. For example, he learns that

under pressure, people experience two kinds of anxiety–one that

hurts performance and one that helps it. Mike uses the insight to

get his troops running toward the sound of gunfire, and in the

process, learns that "bounce" can happen outside the workplace,

too. With Joe’s help, he finds his own personal bounce.

Drawing inspiration from such sources as the work of M.I.T. social

scientist Ed Schein, the film Saving Private Ryan, and his own

experiences as a CEO leading companies, McFarland cleverly weaves a

story whose practical insights can be put to use immediately. With

an invaluable wrap-up section at the book’s end that analyzes each

of the key ideas and shows how they can be applied in work and

personal life, Bounce may be the most indispensable guide to

facing challenges ever written.
