Who is Geoffrey Colvin?
Geoff Colvin’s regular column in Fortune magazine, his frequent cover stories for the magazine, and his
broadcasts on the CBS Radio Network, have garnered him millions of eyes and ears who count on and
respect his insights on the issues driving change in business and the economy. One of the most respected
voices in business journalism, Colvin helps business look ahead at the key issues impacting business
today: the global economy; government regulation; the impact of Washington politics/policy on the
business environment and the economy; health care; leadership and management; global competitiveness and
more.
The insights he delivers are remarkable in their clarity, giving leaders the perspective they need to
make better decisions about the future of their business. Geoff’s groundbreaking book, Talent Is
Overrated: What Really Separates World-Class Performers From Everybody Else – has remained a
popular-selling book since it was released in 2008. His book, The Upside of the Downturn, looks at how
business can compete in an age of diminished expectations.
