The Complete CEO : The Executive's Guide to Consistent Peak Performance

PRAISE FOR THE COMPLEE CEO. "This book is helpful to any CEO, or indeed any business manager, who wants to deliver sustained high performance." Jim Nicol, CEO, Tomkins PLC "As CEO of a newly floated business, I have found The Complete CEO to give extremely helpful focus, as well as practical tools." Heikki Sirviö, CEO, Kemira Growhow "The Complete CEO is a fascinating book. While it won t turn the average CEO into Warren Buffett, it does contain a wealth of uncommon, common sense wisdom, which will take him or her a number of steps in his direction." James O loughlin, Author, The Real Warren Buffett "I believe that the High Performance Model described in this book will be of value to any business leader but especially to one new in post, or one who has good reason to introduce change." Sten Scheibye, CEO, Coloplast "The complete CEO is the first book I have read which stitches together an explanation of what a business must achieve with a description of the actions a CEO can take to make this happen." Tim Parker, CEO, The AA "The book is clearly written and full of user friendly management tools. What makes it different from the rest of the management literature available today is that it can also guide a CEO of an international company doing business outside of the Anglo Saxon business context, as the rules and guidance contained in it are intelligently generalized and universally applicable." Zdenek Bakala, Co Owner, OKD Group and Founder and Former Managing Director, Patria Finance "The High Performance Model at the core of the book, moves from a clear and insightful discussion of what drives the creation and maintenance of a winning business model into a decomposition of the role of the CEO. The authors have worked with a number of highly successful CEOs and former CEOS to understand the essence of their success, and the actions they have taken day to day to drive it; and the result is a practical, easy to understand guide." From the Foreword by Ben Verwaayen, CEO, BT PLC
