Author(s): TAPPIN Steve & Cave
WWhat is it really like to be a CEO - and how should CEOs respond to the reset economy? With unprecedented access to some of the world's most high-profile and powerful business people, The NEW Secrets of CEOs tells us what life is really like at the top and reveals the views of heads of global businesses as diverse as Asda, GE International, NASCAR, Anglo-American, China Mobile and Unilever. New chapters explore strategies for dealing with the 'reset' after the recession and the five realities for CEOs in the 2010s. In interviews with some of the most influential CEOs - including new profiles of Andrea Jung of Avon, Irene Rosenfeld of Kraft Foods, Michael Spencer of ICAP, Sir John Parker of National Grid, Zhang Ruimin of Chinese conglomerate Haier and John Chambers of Cisco - the issues that really affect today's leaders are revealed: How are CEOs responding to the 'reset economy' after the financial crisis? What hasn't changed, even in this much tougher environment? What are their views on executive pay, bonuses, expenses and transparency? What are CEOs' expectations of the future and how have their attitudes to both corporate and personal risk changed?
The controversy behind executive pay and performance is highly topical and provokes some extreme reactions from shareholders and company employees. What does it take to be a CEO? How do CEOs justify their high pay and demonstrate their own value. The NEW Secrets of CEOs examines the personal styles of high-profile CEOs and in the interviews they illustrate how they lead businesses. When is a CEO good enough? The current economic climate provides continuing challenges for any CEO - this provocative look at international business leaders is an indispensable guide to how they do it and succeed. Steve Tappin and Andrew Cave together look at the characters of CEOs and also offer their tips for the best compilation of Boards and ask whether CEOs are good enough. Discover the answers to these questions and much more in this authoritative book, which offers rare access into private business worlds and personal lives of some of the most influential people on the planet.
