The exclusive, first-hand, behind-the-scenes story of how Pfizer
raced to create the first Covid-19 vaccine, told by Pfizer's CEO
Dr. Albert Bourla A riveting, fast-paced, inside look at one of the
most incredible private sector achievements in history, Moonshot
recounts the intensive nine months in 2020 when the scientists at
Pfizer, under the visionary leadership of Dr. Albert Bourla, made
"the impossible possible"-creating, testing, and manufacturing a
safe and effective Covid-19 vaccine that previously would have
taken years to develop. Dr. Bourla chronicles how the brilliant,
dedicated minds at Pfizer, under the enormous strains of the global
pandemic, overcame a series of crises that were compounded by
social and political unrest, and reveals the doubts, decisions,
obstacles, and failures they encountered. As Dr. Bourla makes
clear, Pfizer's success wasn't due to luck; it was because of
preparation driven by four simple values-Courage, Excellence,
Equity, and Joy. Moonshot is a story of leadership under the most
unprecedented circumstances-how Dr. Bourla, a Greek immigrant, a
child of Holocaust survivors, and a veterinarian, became the head
of one of the world's largest corporations and initiated a dramatic
transformation of the organization just before a global health
crisis would serve to test the organization, its scientists and its
leader, like never before. Moonshot describes best practices that
can be used to address the multiple, unprecedented challenges our
world faces, reveals Pfizer's implementation of scientific
breakthroughs at a record-breaking pace, and offers leadership
lessons that can help anyone successfully manage their own
seemingly unsolvable problems. As Dr. Bourla explains, "I am
sharing the story of our moonshot-the challenges we faced, the
lessons we learned, and the core values that allowed us to make it
happen-in hopes that it might inspire and inform your own moonshot,
whatever that may be."
