500 Ceos: Lessons From The Heart

500 CEOs: Lessons From The Heart is the product of nearly seven-hundred interviews with corporate leaders working in dozens of industries among thirteen nations in North America, Europe, Asia and Latin America. Although each interview covered a wide variety of topics mainly focused on corporate strategy, the concluding question was the most evocative: "What advice do you have for those who are early in their careers?" Without exception, the tone of conversation would shift noticeably. These experienced and successful leaders opened their hearts in a great act of mentorship. Their reflections are wide-ranging, diverse, direct and provocative. But most of all, their words are clearly heartfelt. Not surprisingly, these CEOs had a great deal to say about career development, leadership, problem-solving and decision-making, communication skills, networking, education and learning. Those words are applicable to all who are striving to make their work more effective. Yet the most heartfelt and evocative messages came as these leaders opened up about things such as passion, ethics and integrity, humility, risk-taking, mistakes and failure, touch and intuition. Those words are lessons for all people in all stages of life. Whether you work in the corporate world, or simply want to reflect on great themes of life, this book offers growth opportunities for everyone. Wander through its observations, advice and challenges slowly. Take in just a bit at a time. Put it down, and apply its keys in your days. Then share your growth with others.
