In the introduction to “The Hard Thing About Hard Things: Building a Business When There Are No Easy Answers,” Ben Horowitz, co-founder and general partner of the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, makes a good point. He says, “The hard thing isn’t dreaming big. The hard thing is waking up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat when the dream turns into a nightmare.”
As part of a series on must-read books for HR leaders, we’re exploring how these strategies can help HR leaders navigate difficult challenges and help their C-suite colleagues thrive in hard times. Horowitz addresses difficult leadership situations other business books gloss over and provides insight HR leaders can use to successfully navigate tough situations that might occur at their organization.
