by **Steve Mayer** (Editor), **Andrew Willis** (Editor), **Michele Romanow** (Foreword by)

**A remarkable collection of exclusive, first-person stories on leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic from 29 chief executives at iconic Canadian companies.**

  
_Unprecedented_ is an extraordinary business book for extraordinary times: a collection of exclusive, first-person stories on leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic from twenty-nine chief executives at Canada's most iconic and largest companies. These are unforgettable accounts from senior leaders at companies on the front lines during the pandemic--nursing homes, grocery stores, airlines, hotels, pharmacies, shopping malls--along with valuable lessons on crisis management.

The insights in _Unprecedented_ are remarkable. Readers get a seat at the table when the CEO of Tim Hortons visits the White House to discuss financial relief initiatives for business. Canada Goose's CEO tells of retooling the parka maker to turn out surgical gowns. The head of one of Canada's largest paper producers reveals what happened when the country almost ran out of toilet paper.

COVID-19 is a shared challenge, a crisis that touches everyone. _Unprecedented_ captures that shared experience with personal essays that mix struggle and achievement, fear, humour, and compassion. At their heart, these are stories about overcoming adversity, a theme that resonates with managers, professionals, entrepreneurs, and students of business.

_Unprecedented_ gives us rare insight into how leaders navigated the pandemic and the social unrest and technological changes that marked this era--what was gained, what was lost, and what was learned that can help serve companies, employees, and customers better in an uncertain future.

_The authors' net proceeds from the sales of_ Unprecedented _are being donated to United Way Centraide Canada for COVID recovery across Canada._
