What Makes a Great Corporate Leader?

Do you ever wonder what makes a great executive in government or business? Why is one CEO able to do so much and another fall in failure wiping out millions or even billions of dollars in the stock price or the companies goodwill (brand reputation). If we look at the top corporate executives of the 1990's and since the turn of the millennium, one has to ask what do they all have in common? Believe it or not things have not changed much when it comes to corporate leadership, indeed the 1970's and 1980's were fairly similar. To help me bring home this point, I would like to recommend the following book to read:"The Anatomy of a Great Executive" by John Wareham. 1991This book will help you understand how to get past the façade of the modern executive to "size up virtually anyone quickly and accurately" and this should assist you in making yourself a competent and effective leader yourself. Have you ever wondered how to look at someone who appears to have it all together a
nd know instinctively if they are real or just another big hat with no cattle? It is my contention that you should own this book and read it, think about what the author is saying and then perhaps you will understand the reality behind the mask as Mr. Wareham puts it.Reviewers of this book have labeled Mr. John Wareham as shrewd, I tend to agree and nothing in this book is very shocking to me, although I am sure you will read it and see how valuable it is. After reading this you will "get it" and understand exactly how to lead in all types of situations and see beneath the scenes of other leaders and understand them too.
