Description
From greenhorn to empire-builder. Few New Zealand entrepreneurs have a story as remarkable as Diane Foreman’s. In In the Arena, published in 2015, this self-made businesswoman tells — with refreshing honesty and humor — how she went from complete beginner to leading one of New Zealand’s most successful companies.
Written with journalist Jenni McManus, the memoir follows Foreman through the highs and lows of building a business empire: bold acquisitions, painful setbacks, lessons learned from failure, and the leadership principles — vision, customer focus, financial discipline, resilience — that guided her decisions.
Foreman is equally candid about the personal side: breaking through as a woman in a male-dominated business world, balancing ambition with family and values. Part business memoir, part leadership playbook, In the Arena is an inspiring read for aspiring entrepreneurs, executives, and anyone who believes that determination and integrity can overcome the longest odds.
