Your track record of success isn't enough. Here's what it really takes to be CEO
Ready. You're on the short list for the CEO job, and you have a record of
delivering amazing results. You've been told you have the inside track. You're
the leader in the clubhouse. Don't believe it. Remember that no matter what
you've heard or what your CV says, you are not alone in the race, and the odds
are against your getting the job. Leadership selection isn't the methodical,
objective process we imagine. Decisions aren't made by robotic executives
ticking boxes for attributes such as strategic fit, core competencies, or
cultural alignment. Instead, the process is deeply personal, emotional, and
often unpredictable. Now, Mark Thompson and Byron Loflin share with you what it
really takes to become CEO ready. Thompson has coached thousands of executives
and CEO candidates, and Loflin is a boardroom expert and adviser. They've seen
firsthand the emotions that sway CEO selections as well as the personal and
boardroom dramas that unfold as a company prepares to pass the baton of
leadership. In CEO Ready, Thompson and Loflin reveal what you need to do to
maximize your chances of being the one who secures the top spot, including
identifying the seven key stakeholders CEO candidates need to understand and
work with. Filled with practical advice and compelling and instructive stories
from those who've gone through this arduous process, CEO Ready is essential
reading for anyone who aspires to the ultimate leadership position.
