About this ebook

The Role of the CEO in Corporate Transformation is a narrative research study on how four successive CEOs influenced the transformation of their company over a thirty-year period. The book is intended for students of business leadership as well as for business leaders seeking to understand better the dynamics of leadership and corporate transformation. The book argues that what leaders do to lead and how they lead is significantly influenced by the context of the operating environment as well as by the dynamics of their interaction with key stakeholders. The thesis is that to understand the role of leaders in strategic change consider their responses to constraints and challenges and what enactments they engage in.
