CEO EXCELLENCE
Vikram Malhotra Scott Keller Carolyn Dewar
The Six Mindsets That Distinguish the Best Leaders from the Rest
For readers of Simon Sinek's Leaders Eat Last and Ray Dalio's Principles, this deep dive into how the best CEO's do their jobs, from the world's most influential consulting firm, McKinsey & Company, is based on extensive interviews with the 21st century's most effective corporate leaders.
CEO at any of the world's largest companies is one of the most challenging, mysterious, misunderstood, and important roles in the world today. The CEOs of the Fortune 500 alone represent two-thirds of U.S GDP, oversee over $14 trillion in revenues, and are responsible for the employment of 28.7 million people.
Even when they reach the position of CEO, very few excel in the role. Thirty percent of Fortune 500 CEOs last fewer than three years, and two out of five new CEOs are perceived to be failing within eighteen months of taking the job. A select few, however, rise to become the best of the best - creating superior value for their stakeholders while role modeling servant leadership.
In CEO Excellence, the authors, all experienced consultants at world famous McKinsey & Company, have used a rigorous method to identify the best CEOs of the 21st century. Starting with a pool of 2,000 public company CEOs, the top 200 were eventually selected, and a statistically valid sampling of those - sixty-five - agreed to multi-hour interviews. Based on these in-depth interviews, CEO Excellence not only demystifies the role itself, but also the mindsets and actions that deliver outsized performance. The research effort has yielded a treasure trove of practical insights embedded in compelling stories.
Carolyn Dewar is a Senior Partner at McKinsey & Company, and co-leads McKinsey's CEO and Board Excellence service line, advising Fortune 100 CEOs through growth, mergers, and crises. She has published over 30 articles in the Harvard Business Review and the McKinsey Quarterly, and is a frequent keynote speaker and panelist at numerous conferences across industries. Carolyn studied Economics and International Relations at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, and is now based in San Francisco.
Scott Keller is a Senior Partner in McKinsey's Southern California office, and co-leads (with Carolyn Dewar) McKinsey's CEO and Board Excellence service line. A mechanical engineer by training, Scott spent most of his early consulting years working on business strategy and operational topics. He has published numerous articles in Harvard Business Review, Forbes, and McKinsey Quarterly, and is the author of six books, including Beyond Performance: How Great Organizations Create Ultimate Competitive Advantage. (He also happens to be one of 250 people who have visited every country on earth.)
Vikram (Vik) Malhotra is a Senior Partner at McKinsey & Company where he has worked for 34 years. He has served on McKinsey's Board of Directors and as McKinsey's Managing Partner of the Americas. Vik has advised CEOs and corporate boards, and has consulting experience in performance transformation, corporate strategy, and growth strategies. He is Chairman of the Board at the Wharton Graduate School and a Trustee of the New York City Partnership. He received his undergraduate degree in economics from the London School of Economics and his MBA from the Wharton School.
