Leadership at the top is less about holding answers than about setting direction and keeping attention on it, and Ben Renshaw builds this guide around the practices that let a chief executive do both.
The book works through the demands of the role: clarifying purpose, deciding with incomplete information, building a senior team that will disagree usefully, and keeping personal discipline under constant pressure. Renshaw draws on his experience advising executives, and the chapters are structured for practical use rather than long theory. The approach suits readers already managing people as much as those preparing for a larger job.
Practical takeaways:
• Guidance on setting direction and communicating it across an organisation
• Decision-making under uncertainty and the habits that support it
• Advice on building a senior team and on inviting challenge within it
• A concise format that fits around a demanding schedule
Aimed at senior managers, founders and anyone preparing for an executive role, available from Boipoka.
