Features: This book cites the journeys of numerous world CEOs, including the greatest CEO in Asia Panasonic's Konosuke Matsushita, the greatest CEO of the 20th century Jack Welch, and representatives of success and heroism like Bill Gates. Outstanding CEOs are the ones who change the world. Their experiences and thoughts are more than enough to serve as learning models for those who aspire to success. CEOs and General Managers, formally both being the "top leaders" of a company, CEOs are both administrative leaders and representatives of shareholder interests. In most cases, CEOs appear as board members, while General Managers are not necessarily board members. In this sense, CEOs represent the company and bear fundamental responsibility for its operations. This book tells how CEOs are made, including content such as Alfred Sloan—a successful professional manager, an internal reformer of General Motors, Sloan's Tactics, Sloan's Records, Konosuke Matsushita—the god of business and life mentor, growing through learning, Panasonic's Business Principles, Panasonic's Records, Jack Welch—the model for entrepreneurs and managers, etc.
