{"product_id":"conscience-and-courage-john-hawkins-9781621823704","title":"Conscience and Courage: How Visionary CEO Henri Termeer Built a Biotech Giant and Pioneered the Rare Disease Industry","description":"Henri Termeer was one of the first of a pioneering group of business executives who built a disparate group of fledgling companies into a biotech industry that has driven decades of therapeutic innovation. During a 28-year career at Genzyme, including 26 years as CEO, he created a process of drug development that for the first time was patient-centered. He also helped forge biotech's public policy agenda and inspired a generation of entrepreneurs to take on large and important challenges. An extraordinary number of today's biotech leaders were directly mentored by Termeer. His own leadership was iconoclastic: He broke rules and took risks, setting ambitious goals and finding novel ways to reach them. In doing so he transformed an industry and brought hope to patients with a range of diseases previously deemed too rare to justify the investment needed to support the development of specific therapies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eConscience and Courage\u003c\/em\u003e, John Hawkins, an insightful analyst of healthcare leaders, reveals the philosophy, principles, methods, and habits of a prominent and successful CEO who defied convention to create an investor-owned global enterprise that put people before profits and improved the lives of thousands of forgotten patients.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Hawkins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1621823709\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781621823704\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.20w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2020","brand":"John Hawkins","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44048221995263,"sku":"9781621823704","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5aa8b4db-d8db-42ae-a798-fc7a9987bbbb.jpg?v=1684994571","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/conscience-and-courage-john-hawkins-9781621823704","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
