Business success comes neither easily nor quickly. What is needed is a practical guide to achieving peak performance recognising your starting point and telling you what is required to achieve your goals. The Complete CEO does exactly this by providing a comprehensive framework against which any business leader can assess their strengths and weaknesses. The Complete CEO combines invaluable insights from some of the most successful CEOs in North America and Northern Europe along with the authors’ extensive knowledge and experience to create a complete programme for you and your business to achieve peak corporate and individual performance. The Complete CEO distils learning built up over the last ten years from 1000 leaders of the world’s largest quoted companies. By comparing the ways these leaders ran their businesses with their long-term performance, you will be able to see what works in practice and how to make it work for you. The Complete CEO is not a conventional business book and recognises there are no shortcuts to greatness. Even great CEOs have important areas of relative weakness. The tailored model of high performance presented in this book will be of enormous value to anyone who aspires to be a high-performing CEO. “The Complete CEO is an excellent handbook for any manager or leader. I keep it within reach.” —Mervyn Davies. CEO Standard Chartered Bank Plc “This book is helpful to any CEO, or indeed any business manager, who wants to deliver sustained high performance.” —Jim Nicol, CEO Tomkins Plc “As CEO of a newly floated business, I have found The Complete CEO to give extremely helpful focus, as well as practical tools.” —Heikki Sirviö, CEO Kemira Growhow “The Complete CEO is a fascinating book. While it won’t turn the average CEO into Warren Buffett, it does contain a wealth of uncommon, common sense wisdom, which will take him or her a number of steps in his direction.” —James O’Loughlin, Author, The Real Warren Buffett “The ultimate test of a CEO is value creation. Yet few are prepared for the task. This book will be of practical help to anyone who seriously takes up this challenge.” —Sir Brian Pitman, Former CEO And Chairman Of Lloyds TSB “I believe that the High Performance Model described in this book will be of value to any business leader – but especially to one new in post, or one who has good reason to introduce change.” —Sten Scheibye, CEO Coloplast “The High Performance Model at the core of the book, moves from a clear and insightful discussion of what drives the creation and maintenance of a winning business model into a decomposition of the role of the CEO. The authors have worked with a number of highly successful CEOs and former CEOs to understand the essence of their success, and the actions they have taken day-to-day to drive it; and the result is a practical, easy-to-understand guide.” —From The Foreword By Ben Verwaayen, CEO BT Plc

Athletic CEOs: Leadership in Turbulent Times is about CEOs who do not lead by the book: people who score low on emotional intelligence, do not praise their subordinates, and rarely provide constructive feedback or celebrate small wins. Yet it is also a book about high-performing transformational leaders: Alexander Dyukov (Gazprom Neft), German Gref (Sberbank), Eugene Kaspersky (Kaspersky Lab), and Vitaly Saveliev (Aeroflot). Each of these leaders have created formidable enterprises that deliver sustainable growth in profits and shareholder value, set new standards for the industry, leave a positive impact on their employees and on the country and the regions they operate in; and – most remarkably – continue to reinvent themselves. Having studied the work of these leaders for a decade, Shekshnia, Ulanovsky, and Zagieva’s model of athletic leadership summarizes the unique characteristics of these leaders and their leadership.

If any of the following behaviors sound like you or someone you work with, beware! In Why CEOs Fail, David L. Dotlich and Peter C. Cairo describe the most common characteristics of derailed top executives and how you can avoid them: Arrogance—you think that you're right, and everyone else is wrong. Melodrama—you need to be the center of attention. Volatility—you're subject to mood swings. Excessive Caution—you're afraid to make decisions. Habitual Distrust—you focus on the negatives. Aloofness —you're disengaged and disconnected. Mischievousness—you believe that rules are made to be broken. Eccentricity—you try to be different just for the sake of it. Passive Resistance—what you say is not what you really believe. Perfectionism—you get the little things right and the big things wrong. Eagerness to Please—you try to win the popularity contest.

The author of the Jack Welch Lexicon of Leadership and The Rumsfeld Way sets his sights on identifying seven of the top CEOs of the modern era, and spelling out the traits, tactics and strategies that have led to their success. Through exclusive interviews with such luminaries as Michael Dell), Lou Gerstner (IBM) and Herb Kelleher, and exhaustive research that has spanned three years, Krames has written a compelling book that shows managers how they can implement the success methods of the following CEOs: Michael Dell (Dell Computer) on Building the Customer-Centric Organization; Lou Gerstner (IBM) on Focusing on Solutions; Andy Grove (Intel) on How Organizations can Prepare for Drastic Change; Sam Walton (WalMart) on Pioneering an Authentic Learning Organization; Jack Welch (GE) on Toppling Performance Barriers; Herb Kelleher (Southwest Airlines) on How Companies Can Instill a Productivity-Driven Culture; Bill Gates (Microsoft) on Harnessing the Knowledge of Every Worker; While there have been many books written that detail the success formulas of CEOs (and several of the aforementioned CEOs have written their own), no book has pulled it all together into a blueprint-like framewor

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A memoir of leadership and success: The executive chairman of Disney, Time’s 2019 businessperson of the year, shares the ideas and values he embraced during his fifteen years as CEO while reinventing one of the world’s most beloved companies and inspiring the people who bring the magic to life. NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR Robert Iger became CEO of The Walt Disney Company in 2005, during a difficult time. Competition was more intense than ever and technology was changing faster than at any time in the company’s history. His vision came down to three clear ideas: Recommit to the concept that quality matters, embrace technology instead of fighting it, and think bigger—think global—and turn Disney into a stronger brand in international markets. Today, Disney is the largest, most admired media company in the world, counting Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm, and 21st Century Fox among its properties. Its value is nearly five times what it was when Iger took over, and he is recognized as one of the most innovative and successful CEOs of our era. In The Ride of a Lifetime, Robert Iger shares the lessons he learned while running Disney and leading its 220,000-plus employees, and he explores the principles that are necessary for true leadership, including: • Optimism. Even in the face of difficulty, an optimistic leader will find the path toward the best possible outcome and focus on that, rather than give in to pessimism and blaming. • Courage. Leaders have to be willing to take risks and place big bets. Fear of failure destroys creativity. • Decisiveness. All decisions, no matter how difficult, can be made on a timely basis. Indecisiveness is both wasteful and destructive to morale. • Fairness. Treat people decently, with empathy, and be accessible to them. This book is about the relentless curiosity that has driven Iger for forty-five years, since the day he started as the lowliest studio grunt at ABC. It’s also about thoughtfulness and respect, and a decency-over-dollars approach that has become the bedrock of every project and partnership Iger pursues, from a deep friendship with Steve Jobs in his final years to an abiding love of the Star Wars mythology. “The ideas in this book strike me as universal” Iger writes. “Not just to the aspiring CEOs of the world, but to anyone wanting to feel less fearful, more confidently themselves, as they navigate their professional and even personal lives.”

The seven leaders profiled in Comeback have two things in common: They brought their companies back from the dead, and they did it by seeking out the truth and sharing it with their employees. Martin Puris believes that this instinct for the truth is essential to leadership. And he should know. He has built one of the best advertising companies in the country, having led campaigns for BMW, Burger King, UPS, and Club Med. In addition to being a writer and a CEO, Puris was an adviser to President George Bush. Now, he's gained rare access to seven inspiring leaders and their stories about thriving under extreme business pressure. Puris presents intimate portraits of chief executives at Compaq, Continental Airlines, Honeywell, Adidas, Chrysler, U.S. Surgical, and UPS. All these companies had veered dangerously off course, and it took the efforts of these seven straight-shooting CEOs to set them right. Oz Nelson did it by convincing UPS to embrace new technologies. Gordon Bethune did it by giving across-the-board bonuses to Continental employees for improvements in customer satisfaction. Michael Bonsignore did it with a level of candor most executives never approach: He told Honeywell employees their company would be sold out from under their feet if things didn't change. Martin Puris takes us inside the offices of these talented executives to present seven intimate stories of resurrection and leadership at its best.
