From the CEO's Perspective

Nearly 60% of U.S. companies face a leadership talent shortage. As we face fast-changing technology, global competition and a multi-generational workforce, that shortage has frightening implications for today’s organizations and America’s future. Driven by her own passion for leadership, Teri Citterman was inspired to ask 20 top CEOs what they are doing to develop leaders in this unprecedented time. These leaders share their own stories and inspirations, identify the must-have leadership traits (and derailers) for the future and offer provocative and unconventional advice. As you read about leadership in their words, you’ll be challenged to define your views on leadership and to take action. Learn from the best and you can’t help but be a more thoughtful, deliberate and effective leader.

“In a sea of too many leadership books, there are three reasons to read From the CEO's Perspective. First, author Teri Citterman is a phenomenal writer, and brings punch to the topic of leadership. Second, Teri lets a group of fantastic CEOs tell you their stories, so that you get direct insights from those who have been there and done that. Third, Teri brings her own unique experiences to the table, so that you get the additional perspective of a great writer, coach, and someone who is passionate about how we create more leaders in a world that needs them. I guarantee you that you will find at least one nugget of wisdom in this book that more than justifies your investment in reading it."

"Many fast-track leaders and young CEOs gain responsibility so quickly that they are hungry for additional wisdom from others. Teri's book is a two-in-one win: her subjects share their wisdom in a way that feels intimate ... like they are mentoring YOU; and each section's reflection questions will help leaders define for themselves who they are, what they want to build, and what 'success' looks like. A much-needed leader-building book!"
- Cory Bouck, author of The Lens of Leadership: Being the Leader others WANT to Follow
“The insight that Teri brings to the forefront of leadership challenges is critical for leaders of today to understand. Without the ability to measure ourselves as leaders from the perspective of how other successful leaders excel, we are robbing ourselves of an opportunity for greatness!”
- Skip Reynolds, Master Coach & Certified Trainer, San Antonio, Texas
