Outlining the requirements for management success in the
Twenty-first century, the author proposes both a senior management
career path to achieving top executive responsibilities and how the
CEO successfully meets his or her challenges once that apex
position is achieved. Over forty years of global management
experience, including more than a decade as a Chief executive
officer, underscores the dynamics of this book. It is intended for
the aspiring individual who currently has some management
experience, the ambition and dedicated focus to be a business
leader, the self-confidence to be recognized, and to be comfortable
with risk taking and to exercise "out of the box" thinking in
accomplishing the vision they develop for their organization. It
definitely is not for the faint of heart The book covers all the
dynamics of these objectives, including the importance of the
family, effective time management, discipline in all of its
meanings and the real relationships between the business leader,
the Board of Directors, the executive team, shareholders,
employees, the market, and the increasing influence of government
actions and involvement. Simply put, the purpose of this book is to
assist you in planning and executing your career path to advance
from your current business responsibilities to those of senior
executive leadership - to those of a Chief Executive Officer,
Managing Director or similar level of responsibilities. Recognizing
that times and business environments change, it is designed to meet
the challenges of the 21st Century; challenges you will face as an
executive. This book is based on the author's personal business
experiences covering 40 plus years. His senior management
background included that of a CEO and President of a global heavy
manufacturing, engineering and construction, and systems
corporation. His business, military service and academic background
proved to be of considerable value during the ups and downs of
personal, corporate, and family life. It also provided him the
basis for steadfast standards and values, affording an ethical
barrier against the increasing prevaricating, cheating,
obfuscating, thievery, and fraudulent global business and
government events of the last 30 years or so. Unlike the
questionable ethics and opportunistic management practices so
evidenced by the Enrons, WorldComs, Tyco Internationals, MCIs, AIGs
and, more recently, the Madoffs, Stanfords and Rothsteins of the
world; the standards underwrote the strategic soundness of "being
smart rather than clever" and trust implied in such policies as
"Your Word is your Bond." This book is about the value and benefits
of hard work, smartly done. It is about strengthening your
self-confidence, flexibility and agility, and of realizing that
you'll never fully achieve your potential, but you'll always -
throughout your life - be striving for that goal. You are the
person who never quits. You will find the premises of this book of
considerable value. It is for the individual who "wants to make a
difference," and who realizes that risks always are present in
striving to achieve worthwhile goals.
