The articles that David Hanson has written in Success Comes from Solving Problems: 20 Taiwan Elites Tell Their Stories describe the problem-solving experiences of famous leaders in a way that is worth reading and instructive for everyone - especially now that problem-solving capabilities have become a prerequisite for career success in virtually any area.
