If you're a successful, ambitious executive, chances are you'll have dreamed of what it would be like in the top job. But what does it really mean to be a CEO? What would you have to do every day? What key qualities, experience and skills do all the top CEOs have in common? How would your performance be measured? And crucially, how do you land the top job?
Who better than the CEO of one of the world’s best known executive search firms to answer these questions and to shed new insight on what it takes to succeed at the top?
In CEO, drawing on his unique access to the world’s business leaders, Kevin Kelly opens the door of the corner office and lets you eavesdrop on conversations with the world’s top CEO’s, those who have stuck their necks out and really changed the way that things are done.
CEO provides a route-map for meeting the new challenges of building global organisations and sketches the new agenda for the world’s CEOs. Sure CEOs still need to return value to shareholders and keep the financial analysts happy but the realities of business in the 21st century have changed, so that they also have to engage with new markers of success, like sustainability, ethics and genuine global impact. Find out what success means to people who have already made it and discover how you can make it too.
CEO. BE INSPIRED. BE SUCCESSFUL. BE THE CEO.

CEO REVEALS THE SECRETS OF THE CORNER OFFICE
You’ve probably wondered what it’s like to be one of the headline-leading CEOs. But most of us don’t have any real idea what the job actually involves. What makes a great CEO? What do CEOs actually do all the time? What do real CEOs think? How do you land the top job?
Who better than Kevin Kelly, CEO of one of the world’s best known executive search firms, Heidrick & Struggles, to answer these questions and to give the insider’s view on what it’s really like at the top? CEO opens the door of the corner office and lets you eavesdrop on conversations with some of the world’s top CEOs. It reveals the common issues that preoccupy every CEO: the people issues; the communication issues; the complexities of satisfying all your stakeholders; adapting to change; finding time for a life outside work; working effectively. And what makes it such a fascinating read is that it explores these themes through the author’s own personal reflections and through his conversations with CEOs from some of the world’s leading companies. From the revealing but exhausting ‘A Day in the Life of a CEO’ to discussions of working with the board, this is a book that will keep you enthralled from start to finish.
If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to succeed in the top job, now's your chance.
