From Michael Dell, renowned founder and chief executive of one of America’s largest technology companies, the inside story of the battles that defined him as a leader
In 1984, soon-to-be college dropout Michael Dell hid signs of his fledgling PC business in the bathroom of his University of Texas dorm room. Almost 30 years later, at the pinnacle of his success as founder and leader of Dell Technologies, he found himself embroiled in a battle for his company’s survival. What he’d do next could ensure its legacy — or destroy it completely.
Play Nice But Win is a riveting account of the three battles waged for Dell Technologies: one to launch it, one to keep it, and one to transform it. For the first time, Dell reveals the highs and lows of the company's evolution amidst a rapidly changing industry — and his own, as he matured into the CEO it needed. With humor and humility, he recalls the mentors who showed him how to turn his passion into a business; the competitors who became friends, foes, or both; and the sharks that circled, looking for weakness. What emerges is the long-term vision underpinning his success: that technology is ultimately about people and their potential.
More than an honest portrait of a leader at a crossroads, Play Nice But Win is a survival story proving that while anyone with technological insight and entrepreneurial zeal might build something great — it takes a leader to build something that lasts.

“The book is acidly funny, nail-biting and fast-paced. It is also blessed with a villain from central casting: Carl Icahn, activist investor and publicity hound, whose sparring with Mr. Dell gives the story its bite.” (The Economist)
“In this super-candid book filled with revealing stories, Michael Dell shows how his development as a person was tightly intertwined with building the company he founded in his college dorm room. It’s a fast-paced tale of launching a public company, taking it private, and then taking it public again, all while wrestling with colorful characters such as Carl Icahn. Dell provides a wealth of business insights but also something more important: how curiosity and good values are essential to success both in life and in business. It’s a lesson he learned from his strong parents and shares with his wife in the work of their foundation to give kids better opportunities. The result is a book that is exciting, insightful, and valuable.” (Walter Isaacson, best-selling author of The Code Breaker)
“Michael Dell takes you into the real world of building and transforming an empire, vividly describing conversations and deals with key players so you see the whole picture. It’s a great gift for those on a similar journey.” (Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates and author of Principles: Life and Work)

Exceptional wisdom. It's transforming my business
Michael Dell changed my life dramatically, first with a direct from Dell PC 17 years ago, and second after reading this book. Michael has long been a American icon in my periphery. Ever since unboxing my first computer, which happened to be a direct from Dell flat off-white box, iv wondered what it took to create such an inspirational business. In his book Michael shares exactly that in an entertaining story driven way where his life is the narrative. Michael shares the values and principles that shaped him and his company as well as the finer "how to" steps he took. You'll walk away with an inside first hand account of the values that shaped one of the most undervalued companies of our century. If you're an executive you'll find plenty of immediate actions you can put into practice right away to dramatically improve your organization. Thank you Mr Dell for that first PC and thank you for taking the time to write this book. You're a true inspiration.
