New Business Book Summary Available for The Power of Peers

As Leon Shapiro and Leo Bottary explain in The Power of Peers, isolation can be detrimental to a CEO’s effectiveness in today’s fast-paced business world. The solution to CEO isolation lies in working with a group of other CEOs from diverse industries. Such groups can provide empathy for the complexities of the position and different perspectives on shared challenges and opportunities. CEOs can transform standard peer influence into a more powerful resource called peer advantage. Working together and stepping outside their own industries gives business leaders a better vantage point for achieving lofty goals.

New Business Book Summary for The Naked CEO

Who would have thought a successful leadership career would stem from a high school suspension. But that is what happened for Alex Malley. His school suspension is just one experience in a line of missteps that yielded important learnings that led him on a path to become a successful CEO, television host, educator, and mentor. All of these experiences inspired him to write The Naked CEO, a compilation of the learnings he has accumulated and shared over the years with young people preparing to leave college and enter the business world. Malley's key message is to never let fear or embarrassment hold people back from pursuing their dreams. Unless individuals are comfortable with their own journeys, they are unlikely to truly help others on theirs.
