In an age rife with press accounts of disgraced CEOs, politicians, and celebrities—as well as courageous but beleaguered whistleblowers and victims of rivals or envious colleagues and bosses—this question has grown more important than ever. In Firing Back, Jeffrey Sonnenfeld and Andrew Ward answer the question with a resounding "Yes." They go on to lay out a practical and an important five-step process for actually recovering from setbacks. Following these steps will help guide you through the difficult circumstances, rebuild your reputation, and chart a new future. The authors also explore strategies for surmounting common barriers to career recovery, including tricky corporate cultures and psychological stresses. Anchored in decades of research and scholarly studies across multiple fields, this book is packed with engrossing stories and first-hand accounts from humbled but restored CEOs and executives from firms as diverse as General Electric, The Home Depot, Morgan Stanley, Apple, Staples, and Hewlett-Packard. Firing Back offers a clear plan for anyone who needs to recover from a career setback and reclaim lost prestige and reputation - whether the setback stemmed from his own actions or forces outside her control. Reviews "Sonnenfeld and Ward show how to rise Phoenix - like from the ashes. Their account of the psychological and behavioral foundations of that important quality - resilience - is important reading for everyone who will ever face a reversal of fortune." —Jeffrey Pfeffer, Thomas D. Dee II Professor of Organizational Behavior, Graduate School of Business, Stanford University
