Play Nice But Win
A CEO's Journey from Founder to Leader
Dell's candid account of the fights that defined his later career, going private, the Icahn proxy war, and the $67 billion EMC deal.
Two decades after his first book, Dell writes a more personal and combative account of the fights that defined his later career: the wrenching decision to take the company private in 2013, the brutal proxy battle with activist investor Carl Icahn, and the audacious $67 billion acquisition of EMC. Candid about the pressures on a founder-CEO, he frames leadership as knowing when to be diplomatic and when to fight, and shares the lessons of reinventing a company under fire.
