Filled with insights from leading Australian CEOs, Master
CEOs taps into the thoughts of Australia’s leading
chief executive officers or managing directors in an effort to
understand why they are such outstanding leaders, and why the
companies they run have delivered above-average results. Master
CEOs is not only about management — it also delivers a
very strong message on leadership.
* To be interviewed for the book, the CEO had to be in charge of
their company for at least 10 years and delivered shareholders a
return greater than the share market in that period.
* CEOs covered include: Gerry Harvey from Harvey Norman, Paul
Little from Toll Holdings, Graham Turner from Flight Centre, David
Simmons from Hills Industries and many more.
* All new interviews, never before published.
