Benioff's story will help business leaders and entrepreneurs stand out, innovate better, and grow faster in any economic climate by showing how salesforce.com not only survived the dotcom implosion of 2001, but went on to define itself as the leader of the cloud computing revolution and spark a $46-billion dollar industry.
Benioff explains how he has motivated staff, converted consumers into advocates, utilized an ecosystem of partners, and allowed innovation to flourish in Behind the Cloud.
