Recommendation

Unlike authors of many leadership books, Maureen Chiquet strives to teach by example. From her childhood fascination with everything French, her education at Yale, her first job at L’Oréal, her career climb at The Gap to become president of Banana Republic and, finally, her years as global CEO at Chanel, she reveals her experience as a business leader, a wife and a mother. Her successes, failures and defining moments – at work and at home – impart valuable lessons you can get only from a first-person account. Strivers at any stage of their careers will enjoy her engaging success story.
