“A CRASH COURSE IN HOW TO BE AN EFFECTIVE CEO.” —Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and Hidden Potential and host of the podcast Re:Thinking
From leading global management consulting firm McKinsey & Company comes a compact, insight-packed guide to navigating the distinct phases of leadership that every CEO must pass through on their way to mastery.
Unique in applying a number of sophisticated metrics to isolate the world’s top 200 CEOs, reduce them to a representative sample, and then reap their wisdom, the McKinsey team, in A CEO for All Seasons, spotlights the specific stage-based hurdles that CEOs face. From preparing for the role to starting strong to sustaining momentum to ensuring a lasting legacy, the book leaves no segment of the journey unmapped. Along the way, it offers proven strategies for maintaining forward progress and, crucially, alerts readers to common blind spots that can sabotage success, as revealed by a detailed survey of thousands of executives.
The new must-have for leaders at all levels.
