Jeffrey Sonnenfeld knows failure. A professor at the Yale School of Management and founder of the non-profit Chief Executive Leadership Institute, Sonnenfeld has risen to leadership-guru status by becoming the expert on how CEOs stumble and bounce back. He first explored failure 20 years ago in his book "The Hero's Farewell: What Happens When CEOs Retire." Sonnenfeld's latest, "Firing Back: How Great Leaders Rebound After Career Disasters," hits the topic head on. Fortune editor at large Patricia Sellers talked with Sonnenfeld about what he has learned studying failure. An edited version of their conversation:

Rapid career advancement is a key driver for students enrolling in an MBA or EMBA degree, yet the same thing can cause trepidation for existing employers.
AS ANY LONDONER WITH A LICK OF sense will tell you, house prices in the British capital--up 200% over the past decade--are overdue for a correction. And thanks to the miracle of modern derivatives ...
HAVE AN MBA OR A Ph.D.? If so, don't mention it on your business card or e-mail signature --at least that's the consensus among the many hundreds of you who wrote to take issue with the expert I qu...
