Summary

Discover the mindsets and practices of excellent CEOs, and become one yourself.

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 audiobook will demonstrate that while the role of CEO is unique within every organisation, it is surprisingly similar across companies even in disparate industries. Furthermore, the best CEOs approach their role with distinct mindsets and practices.  

This audiobook 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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

One of the best leadership books I’ve heard

Their book stands out as being up to date and informative and thoroughly educational for leaders who are looking to get i to C-suite roles as well as existing and new to the role CEO’s. The case study style examples make it so accessible and certainly a book I will listen to again in a few months.
Brilliantly researched and offering a very new set of content and clear ideas of how to be a better leader. Definitely more targeted to SME and larger organisations but still a lot of value for smaller company leaders.

Worth a listen!

I really enjoyed this audiobook; it had lots of practical examples for leadership and the role of the CEO which made me more appreciative of leaders I have worked with in the past. I wish it had more examples of CEO involvement in marketing as well as examples of smaller businesses.
