Hidden Truths
What Leaders Need to Hear But Are Rarely Told
Wiley, 2020
Aperçu
If you’re a CEO or aspire to be one, prepare for the hidden obstacles leaders face.
Recommendation
New CEOs often believe their experience and past success prepare them for their positions. What new leaders find instead, Harvard Business School lecturer David Fubini reports – and what he’s learned during his decades of work with CEOs globally – is a slew of issues that articles and business books seldom discuss. From the time demands of their constituents to having to make decisions despite having incomplete information, company leaders must work to manage people more than spreadsheets. Fubini shares expert insights as he coaches leaders on how to work closely with boards of directors and how to encourage their lieutenants to tell the whole truth.
