"More than an honest portrait of a leader at a crossroads, Play Nice But Win is a survival story proving that while anyone with technological insight and entrepreneurial zeal might build something great-it takes a leader to build something that lasts"-- Anyone with technological insight and entrepreneurial zeal might build something great-- but how do you make it last? After years of success, Dell found himself in a fight for his company's survival. Here he recalls the mentors who showed him how to turn his passion into a business; the competitors who became friends, foes, or both; and the sharks that circled, looking for weakness. -- adapted from jacket
