The Next CEO

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"The Next CEO is an outstanding book. It provides great insights into the challenges of leading a company and how to select the right leader. The many practical examples from different company situations and the quotes from industry leaders make it a brilliant book which is fun to read."
Jan Jenisch, CEO, LafargeHolcim

"Appointing the CEO and thereafter supporting them to be successful all the way to the exit are the most critical tasks of the Board. This book is full of good practical experiences and real-life views of relevant colleagues from many companies and situations. Absolutely worth reading for newly appointed CEOs and all Board members, Chairs in particular! I can think of many situations as the Chair of a Board or CEO when the learnings from this book would have made me think twice or act differently."
Jorma Eloranta, Chair of Board of Directors, Stora Enso"A book very much based on real life. It will help each Board a lot to answer one of their key challenges: 'How to get the right CEO'."
Prof. Dr Michael Suess, Chair of the Board of Directors, OC Oerlikon
"Few decisions are more critical and more challenging than CEO succession. The authors offer rich insights into how the board and the CEO need to work together to ensure a successful CEO transition."
Heiner Thorborg, Headhunter
"The selection of the right CEO is by far the most important task of any corporate board. The insights provided in this excellent book give the reader a good understanding of what "right" means, depending on the board's vision of upcoming challenges. At the same time, all new CEOs and their organizations will benefit from understanding the mandate given to the new CEO. I would warmly recommend this real-life based playbook for corporate board members and CEOs anywhere."
Paeivi Jokinen, Chairwoman of European Women on Boards
"In The Next CEO, Keil and Zangrillo provide an insightful perspective how boards and new CEOs can beat the odds of CEO succession and turn what is one of the pivotal moments for all organizations into a success. The book is full of helpful advice for boards, new CEOs, and those supporting them."
