Synopsis:

From MBA to CEO is a very special career book because the author is a practitioner: Waldemar Schmidt, who has been CEO of a very large global group, chairman of several global companies and a noted lecturer on business education.
The single most frequent question that MBA students raised to the author during his numerous lectures was "How do I become a CEO?". Not alone does From MBA to CEO answer this question. It also addresses a wide range of career issues that MBA students from ten of the world's leading business schools raised in a research project conducted by the author. And it tackles matters that students have not yet realised might affect them.
From MBA to CEO is a unique and tailor-made career guide for MBA graduates and other men and women with CEO dreams. The book gives insights into the job of the CEO, it helps readers assess whether they have what it takes to become a CEO, what they must endure and achieve and how to progress all the way to the top. "How to work with search firms" is a very special chapter that gives readers invaluable advice that could have significant influence on their careers.

About the Author: WALDEMAR SCHMIDT is probably best known as a former CEO of ISS-the Copenhagen-based facility services group that is amongst the ten largest corporate employers in the world.
During his long career at ISS, Waldemar held positions from Country manager in Brazil to CEO of the global group.
Since 2000, Waldemar Schmidt has pursued a new full-time career, holding a variety of positions, including chairmanships and directorships of global companies in six different countries. He is also a prolific writer and lecturer, and is an adjunct professor of strategy and service management at Copenhagen Business School.
Between 2001 and 2003, he was an executive-in-residence at IMD in Switzerland where he undertook a research project that resulted in the book, "Winning at Service". His second book, "Denmark Limited-Global by Design" explored the way in which Denmark became one of the world's most competitive nations. He is also co-author of "The Nørby Report"-a study commissioned by the Danish government to establish guidelines for good corporate governance in Denmark.
Whilst managing ISS's business in Brazil, he received the Export Oscar from the Danish Foreign Ministry. In 2000, the Queen of Denmark awarded Waldemar Schmidt the Order of the knight of Dannebrog and promoted him to Knight of Dannebrog 1st Degree in 2008. In 2006, he was awarded the Order of the Polar Star by King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden.
