Yet Boston-based GrandCircle Corporation has been increasing profitability-and growing at a rate of nearly 20 percent per year-for the last two decades. Now, co-owners Alan and Harriet Lewis share the fascinating inside story of Grand Circle: how they grew their business into an international powerhouse, how they integrated their values and philanthropy into a working business model, and how they realized their dream of creating a different kind of company that profits everyone involved.In Leading Through Turbulence , the Lewises show you how to:Adapt and thrive in times of change and crisis
