Sins and CEOs
by Richard A. Moran
The author says:
“This is not a treatise on the CEO as the biggest jerk in the world, or about the simple ways to be a good leader—that’s all been done many times. Nor is it about etiquette or hygiene or how to succeed in your first 100 days. It is a book about the CEO you might know and see as he tries to do his job. And it’s about what you can learn from his efforts, whether he succeeds or fails.”
Preview of Reviews:
“The stories in Sins and CEOs are like parables. And like parables, there are important lessons here for everyone – including politicians. Pay attention people.” — Tom McEnery, former Mayor of San Jose, California
“Good leadership in the workplace is more important now than ever. If every CEO and manager took Rich Moran’s timely book to heart, we’d all enjoy our jobs more and over time, even see a stronger economy emerge.” —Betsy Bernard, former President of AT&T
“It’s easy to see the sins of leaders. It’s more difficult to steer clear of them. Moran creates that roadmap in a funny and insightful way that’s helpful for anyone from recent college graduates to experienced CEOs.” —Keith Belling, Founder and CEO of popchips
“If there were such a thing as business vaudeville, Rich would be its star attraction. He has the gift of pointing out the absurdities of organizational life that is at once tragically funny and funnily tragic. He’s got a wry, down home style, a very keen eye for the bizarre details of the office, and he loves poking fun at executives, especially CEOs, but in a way that makes even them laugh out loud. Seriously. Sins and CEOs is his funniest, most poignant, and instructive book yet.”
— Jim Kouzes, coauthor of the bestselling The Leadership Challenge
“Sins and CEOs invites us inside the head of a seasoned professional with startling observational skills. Rich Moran looks at the complex problems faced by real CEOs, and challenges us to consider simple yet powerful leadership solutions. Sins is really funny, but sharp enough to cut through our human tendency to avoid the truth.”
—David K. Mensah, Principal Partner
