Dennis Carey on Running a Company
In his book, ‘How to Run a Company: Lessons from Top Leaders of the CEO Academy,’ Dennis Carey discusses the role top executives have in a public company: “Despite the apparent public hostility to corporate executives, their role in a public company – particularly the role of the chief executive officer – has remained poorly understood. Indeed, one of the paradoxes of business press coverage of corporations is that while the personalities and wealth of CEOs have been exhaustively documented, there has been scant attention to what a CEO actually does. True, much has been written on the “leadership qualities” or “management styles” of corporate executives. But this literate is very different from a description of the day-to-day demands of a CEO: how he develops strategy, how he motivates employees, how he works with board members, how he deals with the investor community.”
