Introduction
In
everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into
flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for
those people who rekindle the inner spirit.
— Albert Schweitzer
Welcome to 21 Success Sutras for CEOs: How Global CEOs Overcome Leadership
Challenges in Turbulent Times to Build Good to Great Organizations. The
reason behind writing this book exclusively on CEOs is my award-winning book, 21 Success Sutras for Leaders was ranked
as one of the Top 10 Leadership Books of the Year – 2013 by San Diego
University, USA. The response from the readers across the world has been
overwhelming.
The challenges for CEOs are different
from the challenges for leaders. Hence, I decided to share 35 years of
diversified experience on leadership from my defence, teaching, training,
research and consultancy with CEOs to enable them to overcome leadership
challenges to build great organizations globally. Additionally, I am passionate
about leadership, executive coaching and CEOs. Because of these reasons, the
book is on your hands now.
Iconic leaders such as Jack Welch, the
former CEO of General Electric; Alan Mulally, the former CEO of Ford; Carlos
Ghosn, the Chairman and CEO of Renault-Nissan; Sam Palmisano, the former CEO of
IBM; Alan George Lafley, the CEO of Procter and Gamble; Bill Gates, the former
CEO of Microsoft; the late Steve Jobs, the cofounder and CEO of Apple; Richard
Branson, the founder of Virgin Group; Herb Kelleher, the cofounder and the
former CEO of Southwest Airlines; and Lakshmi Niwas Mittal, the Chairman and
CEO of ArcelorMittal, all encountered innumerable leadership challenges in the
turbulent business world. Yet they succeeded as CEOs. CEOs encounter
innumerable leadership challenges to turnaround, and lead their organizations
effectively. This book underscores 21 success sutras (principles) for CEOs to
overcome leadership challenges in turbulent times to keep their organizations
great globally. Here are the 21 success sutras
