In the summer of 1994, the authors of this book began traveling across North America, Europe, and Asia to interview the heads of more than 160 major multinational corporations, in industries as diverse as entertainment, banking, diamond mining, and semiconductors. Their goal was to explore the role of the CEO - to discover how the men and women at the pinnacle of some of the world's most prominent companies fulfill their role as leaders. They came away not with abstract theories about management but with real stories about how CEOs actually spend their days, whom they see, where they go, which decisions they make, which they don't, and why. In the process, the authors uncovered new and provocative evidence that there exist five distinct styles of leadership. In Maximum Leadership they illustrate those styles - or "approaches", as they call themwith vivid examples and the candid voices of CEOs at companies such as Coca-Cola, Gillette, Nintendo, Hewlett-Packard, Goldman Sachs, and Nestle.
