Do you aspire to be a CEO? Do you know what traits differentiate the world’s best leaders from the rest? Discover the mindsets and practices of excellent CEOs and become one yourself.
Hachette India is set to release in India, the book – CEO Excellence: The Six Mindsets That Distinguish the Best Leaders from the Rest by McKinsey Senior Partners Carolyn Dewar, Scott Keller, and Vikram Malhotra.
About the Book:
CEO EXCELLENCE, by McKinsey senior partners Carolyn Dewar, Scott Keller, and Vikram Malhotra is a unique and timely business book that will draw on 25 years of research and interviews with top leaders of some of the world’s most respected companies. The resulting book will demonstrate that while the role of the CEO is unique within every organization, it is surprisingly similar across companies even in disparate industries. Furthermore, the best CEOs approach their role with distinct mindsets and practices.
This book is about truly world-class leadership, showing how the best CEOs think, adapt and approach challenges (never more relevant than in this extraordinary time). It will show why a brilliant CEO can have such an immense impact, and demonstrate how to model yourself and your performance on the very best – so that your turn to lead comes sooner, and is more successful.
