Why you should read Senior Leadership Teams

On the surface, you wouldn’t think that assembling a functional senior leadership team would pose a significant problem to the typical CEO. After all, senior leaders are an organization’s best and brightest. They’ve progressed through the ranks, demonstrated their abilities, and proven that they get along well with their colleagues and the people who work for them. So why are so many senior leadership teams unproductive? Why do most executives regard an invitation to join a CEO’s lead team as a punishment instead of a great opportunity? You could fill a book with all the reasons, which is exactly what Ruth Wageman, Debra A. Nunes, James A. Burruss and J. Richard Hackman have done. The authors dissect and examine every aspect of this vital issue, and offer sensible advice and answers. Follow their lead and don’t squander a golden opportunity to help your organization. getAbstract believes this book is highly useful reading for all CEOs and senior executives.
