More Praise for Leadership the Hard Way
“Dov Frohman is a giant of Israeli high tech. His book isn’t only
about leadership, it is about the human spirit and how high it can
soar. Frohman and Howard capture the expansive vision and non-
stop creativity that have made Israel one of the most advanced
centers of high-tech innovation in the world.”
—Yossi Vardi, chairman, International Technologies;
founding investor, Mirabillis Ltd., creator of ICQ
“From an early age, Frohman learned to transform fear of survival
into courageous action. Some lessons for leaders: stick to your
principles, welcome intelligent dissent, take time to daydream but
then make your dreams real. This book will stimulate you to refl ect
on your practice of leading people.”
—Michael Maccoby, author of The Gamesman and The Leaders
We Need, And What Makes Us Follow
“Dov Frohman distills thirty years of experience on the front lines
of the global economy—from Silicon Valley to Israel—in this
beautifully written and compelling narrative. His wisdom is not
just for business leaders, it’s for anyone seeking to lead in today’s
tumultuous environment.”
—AnnaLee Saxenian, dean of the School of Information,
UC Berkeley; author of The New Argonauts: Regional
Advantage in a Global Economy
