Wisdom for a Young Ceo: Incredible Letters and Inspiring Advice from Today's Business Leaders

Star Full Star Half Star Empty

(Hardcover)-At 14 years of age, author Douglas Barry started wondering what to do with his life. That's when this precocious teenager began writing to CEOs of major companies to seek their advice on how to reach the top of the career ladder. The honest, heartfelt replies on finding success in the business world, from the CEOs of Eastman Kodak, McDonald's, Intel, Sprint, UPS, Viacom, and many other companies, provide inspiring life lessons for everyone. Wisdom for a Young CEO includes pithy tidbits, longer essays, sidebars, tips, quotes, and reminiscences from more than 100 of the country's business leaders, focusing on such character issues as honesty, hard work, being true to oneself, integrity, leadership, and interpersonal skills. In surprising detail, many describe turning points in their own careers, outlining difficult moral and ethical decisions they've faced. Now just 17 years old, Douglas Barry is sure to garner publicity from widespread media.

This is a great gift to any young and ambitious person you know and would like to further encourage! A very motivational, fast and enjoyable book!

The letters from the CEO's are great but I could live without Mr. Barry's copy - however doing so would mean cutting the book by two-thirds.

I was looking for the "big" book, and when it arrived, I was quite surprised to find a little 3" x 3.5" by .5" book. 1 star to make sure people know what they are getting.
