As you read this summary, you'll learn about eight executives who have enabled their companies to generate exceptional returns for their shareholders.



You will also discover: the landmark decisions these leaders made to transform their companies ; the commonalities in their visions and methods; the skills that shareholders expect from executives in terms of value creation; the importance of being surrounded by people you can trust; how effective management can distance itself from the demands of market players.

Their backgrounds and methods demonstrate the importance of executive decision-making. How did the Outsiders manage to build companies that outperformed the market and their peers?
