Letter from the Editor
Welcome to the winter issue of Irish Director. In our cover feature, business strategy authority Robert Kaplan has advice for Irish business leaders on weath- ering recessionary times through balanced management. We caught up with negotiation expert
Prof Stuart Diamond on a recent trip to Dublin. Renowned for sorting out the infa- mous Hollywood writers’ strike, he offers some negotiating techniques that can help
you succeed in your professional life and in real life. Innovation expert Charles Leadbeater takes us through some
great comebacks, and tells us what Ireland needs to do to join that club. In Living It, Paolo Tullio suggests cosying up with some hot
Christmas drinks, and interviews his favourite Italian chef Paolo Fresilli, while Ferdia O’Dowd has been test-driving a range of car models we can expect to see in 2011. Thanks as ever to the IoD members and other leaders who
have contributed their time and shared with us their valuable insights. We welcome all feedback and suggestions to
ID@businessandleadership.com.
Best wishes from all at the Irish Director team for the Christmas season.
