Idris Jala draws on decades of real leadership—turning around Shell operations, rebuilding Malaysia Airlines from losses to profits, and driving government transformation efforts—while explaining two core frameworks: Six Secrets of Transformational Leadership and the EightStep BFR methodology. The book links leadership principles with discipline of action, KPI anchoring, coalition building, situational leadership, and practical implementation steps supported by multiple case studies.","[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nPENGUIN BUSINESS  \nTHE GAME OF THE IMPOSSIBLE  \nIdris Jala is a leading authority on the transformation of companies, organizations, and countries. Descended from a headhunting tribe in the jungles of Borneo, he traces his own transformation and growth back to growing up in a tough but adventurous environment, educational opportunities, parental influence, and his strong unshakable faith. Across twenty-three years at Shell, he turned around Shell Sri Lanka and Shell Middle Distillates to record profits and headed a global retail team as well as a SWAT team for troubled operations. In 2005, he gave up an attractive appointment as Chairman of Shell Malaysia and took a pay cut to join Malaysia Airlines as CEO—against the advice of his family because he found the challenge of transformation irresistible. He returned the ailing national airline to record profits from record losses in just two years.  \nFollowing his considerable achievements at Malaysia Airlines, the Malaysian government appointed him as Minister in 2009 to spearhead the transformation of the government and the economy. He was just short of achieving the goal of a developed country for Malaysia based on a numerical target for per capita income set by the World Bank, thwarted by a declining Malaysian currency.  \nHe now heads a consultancy, PEMANDU Associates, that brings his copyrighted ‘Six Secrets of Transformational Leadership’ and the ‘EightStep BFR (big, fast results) Methodology’ to companies and countries throughout the world. The two concepts have also been captured in case studies by Harvard and Princeton, as well as the World Bank.  \nP Gunasegaram has been a business journalist, analyst, editor, columnist, and author for over forty-five years. He is the author of three books, including 1MDB The Scandal That Brought Down A Government, the first book written on the world’s biggest kleptocracy by 1Malaysia Development  \nBerhad, a Malaysian strategic development company. Through his work—the other two books are focused on the history of Malaysia’s central bank and the first Malaysian central bank governor, respectively—Guna tries to break down complex events and concepts into smaller bite-sized pieces for consumption by the general public.  \nHe first met Jala in 2005 during the latter ’s tenure as CEO of Malaysia’s national airline, Malaysia Airlines, and has closely followed Idris’ career path since, transfixed by his achievements and methods. In preparation for this book, he spent many hours over many months talking with Jala, with his main brief being to make the book readable, concise, clear, and interesting. He thoroughly enjoyed helping to write this book and learned much about transformation. It is his professional opinion, as an analyst and journalist, that this book is an invaluable contribution to the limited literature on true, tremendous, and lasting transformation.  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nADVANCE PRAISE FOR THE GAME OF THE IMPOSSIBLE  \n‘When I was President of Tanzania, we engaged Idris and his team to deliver our Big Results Now national programme. The methodology in this book is practical, disciplined, and effective. We applied it—and it delivered results. This is a must-read for anyone serious about achieving big, fast outcomes.’  \n—Jakaya Kikwete, President of the United Republic of Tanzania  \n‘Idris Jala is an inspirational and proven leader of transformation in both public and private sectors. He has shown again and again that seemingly impossible targets can be met. This book provides practical advice for delivering transformation, supported by compelling, real-world stories.’  \n—Lord Michael Barber,  \nHead of British Prime Minister Tony Blair ’s Delivery Unit and author of How to Run a Government:  \nSo That Citizens Benefit and Taxpayers Don’t Go Crazy  \n‘Since 2014, Idris Jala has been lecturing and serving as a mentor at the Harvard Ministerial Leadership Programme.
