From McKinsey & Company, the world's most influential management consulting firm, comes CEO Excellence, an insight-packed leadership book that reveals how the best CEOs think and act - based on interviews with elite leaders from Netflix, JPMorgan Chase, General Motors, Sony and more.
Being a CEO at a major company is one of the toughest executive roles - Fortune 500 CEOs often face massive stakes, yet many fail early: 30% don't last three years, and 40% are deemed ineffective within eighteen months. What separates successful CEOs from the rest?
The authors began with over 2,400 public-company CEOs, narrowed to an elite sixty-seven who participated in multi-hour interviews. Among them: Jamie Dimon (JPMorgan Chase), Satya Nadella (Microsoft), Reed Hastings (Netflix), Kazuo Hirai (Sony), Ken Chenault (American Express), Mary Barra (GM), Peter Brabeck-Letmathe (Nestlé), and others - offering rich insight into CEO best practices, leadership strategy and business execution.
Their candid conversations and McKinsey's data reveal how the top CEOs use core mindsets and signature practices - across strategy, culture, talent, stakeholder engagement, board relations and personal effectiveness - to deliver extraordinary results.
Practical, unprecedented in scope, and essential for leaders at every level, CEO Excellence is a management manual grounded in real-world CEO experience and leadership innovation.
