by Thomas J. Neff, James M. Citrin

What makes a business leader great? This book identifies the 50 most successful business leaders in America, then, in a series of interviews, goes on to examine their methods & techniques for success. Nor surprisingly, each of the 50 executives selected differ greatly in their personalities, their paths to the top, & the industries in which they work. But perhaps the best way to learn how to excel is by studying the strategies & thinking of a wide range of the leaders who have proved themselves in some of the world's best-run companies. This groundbreaking book should be required reading by leaders -- & future leaders -- everywhere. "The key to building an enduring new medium is passion, people, perseverance, perspective & paranoia." Steve Case.

Great lessons on how to be an effective leader. Also interesting notes on how companies become successful. It is also a little bit humorous, because some of the CEOs have since been let go for poor performance or fraud. Over all, a great read.

Anyone who is interested on what is expected from CEOs or C-Suites, should give this book a look.
