The CEO Next Door

THE CEO NEXT DOOR is based on an in-depth analysis of over 2,600 leaders drawn from a database of more than 17,00O CEO's and C-suite executives.

CEO's are destined for greatness from an early age but 70% of CEO's didn't set out to become CEO's early in life. 

Only 7% graduated from an Ivy League college and 8% of CEO's (in the sample) didn't even complete college.

What those who reach the top share four key behaviors that anyone can master at any point in their career:

1. they are decisive

2. they are reliable, delivering what they promise when they promise it

3. they adapt boldly

4. they engage with stakeholders without shying away from conflict.

For those who aspire to rise in their organization and achieve their full potential, this new book is an essential guide that will dispel the myths about success.
