John Berra is no stranger to turning giants. As someone who spent over three decades in the automation community, Berra knows what it’s like to confront major obstacles and leverage then to his advantage. For example, in the mid-1990s, Berra was faced with a unique challenge. The automation industry was at a crossroads, and as President of Fisher-Rosemount Systems, Berra could have played it safe and maintained business as usual. But doing so would have ensured companies like Honeywell would have gained the upper hand. Instead, Berra focused on developing a revolutionary operating system named DeltaV. And in doing so, he led Fisher-Rosemount Systems to disrupt an entire industry. Moves like this set Berra apart from his competitors. On one hand, Berra is one of the most intelligent innovators of his era and there is a reason Intech Magazine named him one of the fifty most influential industry innovators ever. That said, Berra was also incredibly practical and willing to take his share of calculated risks. Because Berra believed is disruptive innovation, he was able to turn giants others were not willing to touch.

Résumé

Face the Giants Standing Between You and the Success You Envision

Many leaders hesitate to innovate, struggle with uncertainty, or find themselves unsure of how to reach the future they imagine. Turning the Giant offers a clear, experience-driven path forward.

John Berra—who rose from a shy, uncertain university student to Chairman of Emerson Process Management and a member of the Process Automation Hall of Fame—shares the insights gained from decades of confronting the “giants” that shape a leader’s journey. Writing with authority and conviction, he illustrates why the most enduring challenges cannot be eliminated but can be transformed into strategic advantages.

In this book, you will discover:

Timeless leadership principles that drive success even amid rapid technological change
Why most giants—like corporate bureaucracy, self-doubt, innovation, skepticism, and competition—will always exist, and how to turn them to your benefit
Real-world insights for navigating complex, high-stakes environments
How to approach challenges with confidence, clarity, and resilience

Though today’s technologies are advancing rapidly and reshaping industries across the globe, the core concept of leadership remains constant: great leaders learn how to turn obstacles into opportunities.

If you are ready to confront your challenges and transform them into catalysts for growth, Turning the Giant will inspire and equip you to take your next decisive step.
