Business success comes neither easily nor quickly. What is needed is a practical guide to achieving peak performance recognising your starting point and telling you what is required to achieve your goals. the Complete CEO meets this need by providing a comprehensive framework against which all business leaders can assess their strengths and weaknesses.

The Complete CEO combines invaluable insights from some of the most successful CEOs in North America and Northern Europe along with the authors' extensive knowledge and experience to create a complete programme for you and your business to achieve peak corporate and individual performance. The Complete CEO distils learning built up over the last ten years from 1,000 leaders of the world's largest quoted companies. By comparing the ways these leaders run their businesses with their long-term performance, you will be able to see what works in practice and how to make it work for you.

The Complete CEO is not a conventional business book and recognises there are no shortcuts to greatness. Even great CEOs have important areas of relative weakness. The tailored model of high performance presented in this book will be of enormous value to anyone who aspires to be a high-performing CEO.
