Features: For an organization to become a successful enterprise, it must be led by a CEO with entrepreneurial genius who follows management principles. The person managing the business should not just oversee the company's operations; they must be able to perfectly combine leadership and management skills. CEOs are always under the spotlight, accompanied by a series of scandals, catastrophic strategic errors, bold investments, controversial salary packages, and more. This book highlights all the important aspects of a CEO's career life, including designing organizational vision, strategic and organizational frameworks, selecting talent, investment decisions, and fostering communication. Roger Perry reveals a new declaration of leadership styles for chief executives. The challenge for CEOs and all business leaders lies in creating sustainable, long-term value for the company, not just short-term revenue spikes and sudden stock price increases. What Is a CEO is about how to become an effective leader—it is not only for CEOs but also a must-read for anyone in a leadership role or aspiring to be a leader. The book partly describes the role of a CEO; the second part outlines the role of CEOs in completing the process of transforming an organization into a business.
