16、ist who has turned to writing. The result is this book, based on interviews with twenty Chief Executives.Each top managernone of them famous names, surprisingly is given a short chapter, and there is some introductory material and a conclusion. This means you can jump from one person to another, in
17、any order, which is good for people who are too busy to read a book form cover to cover. For a management book it isnt expensive, although whether its good value for money is doubtful.Some of the twenty interviewees started their own businesses, while others joined a company and worked , and fairly
18、new in their position, and others have had years of experience though, strangely, Stuart doesnt seem interested in these differences. The interviewees work in everything, from retailing to airlines to software, and it is this variety that forms the main theme of Stuarts book.I have to say that Stuar
19、ts approach annoys me. He rarely stays at a distance from his interviewees, who are mostly presented in their own, positive words. If this were always the case, at least you would know where you were. But he seems to dislike certain interviewees. As a result, I dont know whether to accept any of his
20、 opinions.It also means that the book gives no clear lessons. At the very least, I expected to learn what makes a successful Chief Executive. But these people seem to share two types of qualities. Some of them are very common, suggesting that anyone can be equally successful, which is definitely not
21、 the case. And the other qualities are ones which most successful bosses Ive seen definitely do not have. So in the end Im no wiser about what really goes on.Perhaps Im being unfair. As long as you dont think about whether youd like them as friends, and pay no attention to most of the advice they gi
22、ve, the most readable parts are where the bosses describe their route to their present position.Stuart seems to think that his book would be useful for people aiming for the top, and that it might even make a few want to start their own company; but, in fact, what they could learn here is very limit
