Running on Fear PH D Candidate Clare Ryan

Running on Fear This story is about fear and its corrosive effects on people who learn to be afraid too young and too well. Steve Holden, the boss of a US Pharmaceutical company in Ireland, has a tried and tested method of overcoming his life-long fear. Pass it on. Make others afraid so he can be strong. It is an illusion that is shattered when he is forced to face the consequences of his behavior just as his dreams for the plant he's brought to the brink of great success is threatened by the failure to pass an audit by the US Food and Drug Administration. His boss Mike Klein arrives in Ireland to deal with a crisis when he'd expected to be doing a victory lap. The management team has been run into the ground, infected by a noxious fear that could be fatal, for them, the plant and its employees and for Mike's own career in ACME Pharma.
