How CEOs lead transformations
As the world changes, business must change as well, and sometimes—particularly in recent years—companies just can’t settle for incremental improvements; they must radically overhaul their strategy and performance to reach the top, to stay on top, or sometimes even to survive. In the vast library of books, studies, and articles on such transformations, surprisingly little addresses the role of one very important person: the chief executive officer.
