About this listen

 The Making of a CEO is the result of interviews and analysis of top-level CEOs across various sectors. The book has it genesis in a popular course Krishnan taught at IIMB, where the students interviewed and analysed twenty CEOs to learn how they charted a clear path to the top.
The book explores nuances of leading in different contexts like start-ups, large corporations, family businesses, educational institutions, not-for-profits, public sector and the government. The journey to the top involves three key aspects-building professional credibility, managing your career and managing yourself.
Easy to read and dotted with insightful interviews, this book is a must-read for anyone who aspires to be in the top job or is already there. Essays Leadership Management & Leadership Business Management Nonfiction

I feel that the emphasis on what school a manager attended is overrated. It becomes annoying as the book and/or story becomes repetitive, e.g. more like who you know impression that pushed one to the CEO position. One should remember that not everybody has the funds to go to a top school and not all top schools produce so called good CEOs, most go there for networking opportunities.
For me the book is too superficial rather than a good insight.
