My review:
In looking for a book to help me grow in a position I applied for, I decided this would be a great book to see if that is possible.
I really liked this book. It was well written and presented well. I think one of the biggest things they start off doing is trying to debunk the myths about what a CEO looks like. That you don't have to be the meaniest, greenist, best of the best and that you can been a down to earth, self doubting, forward thinking person and be perfect for the job.
The book also aims to help those that are already in CEO positions to know what to do better. So you really get a book from all angles. This means the book can and does benefits all those that are interested in, applying for, or in current CEO positions.
I give this book a ⛅⛅⛅⛅⛅ out of 5 and do recommend to everyone!
About the Book:
Everything you thought you knew about becoming a CEO is wrong. You must graduate from an elite college or business school. In fact, only 7 percent of the CEOs of today's companies went to a top school--and 8 percent didn't graduate from college at all. Never put a foot wrong. In fact, people who have become CEOs have on average had five to seven career setbacks on their way to the top.
Drawing on the biggest dataset of CEOs in the world -- in-depth analysis of 2,600 leaders, drawn from a database of 17,000 CEOs, as well as 13,000 hours of interviews -- The CEO Next Dooris crammed full of myth-busting and counter-intuitive insights in what it really takes to get ahead. Discover the way actual CEOs of top companies think and behave, and the kind of traits to develop if you want to make your ambitions a reality and take your career right to the top.
