Beyond Business

An Inspirational Memoir From a Visionary Leader

'John Browne, chief executive of BP from 1995-2007, tells how he built the oil group from a "two pipeline company" to a global giant. A good insider's account of a fascinating industry' Financial Times Once a lacklustre organisation, BP became one of the world's biggest, most successful and most admired companies in the new millennium. John Browne, the company's CEO for 12 years, invented the oil 'supermajor' and led the way on issues such as climate change, human rights and transparency. In BEYOND BUSINESS, Browne brings to life what he learned about leadership in a tough industry. His story encompasses the insights gained as he transformed a national company, challenged an entire industry and prompted political and business leaders to change. He takes us across the world on adventures that include going toe-to-toe with both tyrants and elected leaders, and involve engineering feats which in many ways rival those of going to the moon. And he shares his views on the true purpose of business and the leadership needed to tackle the grand challenges of our era. It is also a story of failure and human frailty, as Browne reveals how his private and public lives collided at frightening speed in full view of the world, prompting his abrupt resignation as CEO of BP.

In BEYOND BUSINESS, Browne brings to life what he learned about leadership in a tough industry.

Muhammad al-Fatih: Sang Penakluk Konstantinopel

Sultan Mehmet II Sang Penakluk: Epos Mengagumkan tentang Pemimpin Muslim Penakluk Konstantinopel Di mata Muslim, Mehmet II dikenal sebagai “Sang Penakluk”, sementara di Barat ia dianggap “Teror bagi Dunia”. Pemimpin yang ditakuti pada masanya ini memegang tampuk kekuasaan Kekaisaran Utsmani sejak berusia 12. Bahkan, usianya baru 21 tahun ketika pada 1453 ia menaklukkan Konstantinopel (Istanbul), ibu kota Romawi Timur di bekas koloni Yunani Byzantium. Selama 32 tahun masa kekuasaannya, pemimpin militer yang brilian ini terus memerintahkan pasukannya untuk memperluas batas kekaisaran hingga Asia Kecil dan terus menerobos ke negeri-negeri Eropa. Demi membendung ekspansi agresifnya, tiga paus pun memeranginya atas nama Kekristenan Eropa melawan imperium baru kaum Muslim. Siapakah sejatinya pemimpin militer sekaligus tokoh renaisans Islam ini? Buku ini “menghidupkan” kembali sosok Mehmet II dari kematiannya serta mengangkat sang sultan dari kubangan mitos. Dan, inilah epos menakjubkan tentang figur penguasa Timur dan Barat, yang dalam sebuah prasasti namanya terpahat sebagai “Sultan dua lautan, bayangan Tuhan di dua dunia, abdi Tuhan di antara dua ufuk, pahlawan di laut dan darat, penakluk benteng Konstantinopel”. “Setiap kali saya diminta merekomendasikan buku tentang Turki, saya menjawab, ‘Karya John Freely’. Dan, inilah contoh menakjubkan ihwal kemampuan Freely bertutur sejarah…. Mehmet Sang Penakluk tak pernah terlukiskan secara nyata seperti dalam buku ini.”—Stephen Kinzer, penulis Crescent and Star: Turkey Between Two Worlds “Untuk menggambarkan secara adil sosok Mehmet II yang warna-warni, seseorang harus menggabungkan kecakapannya sebagai pencerita ulung dan kedalaman pengetahuannya tentang Konstantinopel. Dan, pembaca buku ini beruntung karena John Freely memiliki keduanya.”—Heath W. Lowry, Profesor Kajian Ottoman dan Turki Modern “John Freely mengeksplorasi sosok yang kompleks dari Sultan Mehmet II, pangeran renaisans Muslim yang memijarkan cahaya bagi negeri Utsmani pada abad ke-15 namun dilupakan dalam sejarah Eropa.”—NYMAS Review
