Description: (from the blurb)
Corporate Officers, Presidents, Vice Presidents; executives go by many names. Reaching their level can take decades. Only the best, the most persistent and the luckiest professionals make it. Their job is not easy. Exposed to all the organisation’s uncertainties and insecurities, to be successful they must somehow plot a course and make others follow it.
Sadly they are rarely successful. Decades of evidence shows that when these uber-teams are faced with truly critical decisions they typically fail to achieve good outcomes. The consequences are measured in thousands of jobs, billions of dollars in shareholder value and in lasting environmental and social damage.
Are the wrong people being elevated to the organisational apex? Is something fundamentally wrong with the concept of the modern executive team? As we face the existential thread of climate change, there has never been a better moment to examine both of these questions and to rethink how we design and build executive teams for today’s challenges.
