manager to learn when and how to take career and business
risks."

"An important contribution to management thinking."
"The play-it-safe management strategies of the past are no longer good enough in today's marketplace. This book shows managers how to embrace the opportunities of risk and to walk the tightrope of today's business world."
"One skill that all executives attempting to manage technology need is the ability to evaluate and undertake risk.... Drawing from an impressive variety of sources, Mr. Calvert teaches readers to assess their current risk skills, challenge false risk assumptions, judge risks soundly, lower risk levels, control emotional responses to risk, and, perhaps most important, survive the inevitable failures."
