What happens when your business faces a shift so big that the old rules no longer apply? Intel’s legendary CEO Andrew S. Grove called these turning points strategic inflection points—moments when companies either adapt and thrive, or ignore the signs and collapse.

In Only the Paranoid Survive, Grove shares his hard-won insights on leading through disruption, uncertainty, and rapid change. Drawing from Intel’s battles with shifting technologies, he explains why paranoia—staying alert, questioning assumptions, and preparing for the unexpected—is a survival skill for leaders, entrepreneurs, and organizations alike.
