| What distinguishes the best CEOs from the rest? In March 2022, McKinsey senior partners Carolyn Dewar, Scott Keller, and Vikram Malhotra set out to answer that question in CEO Excellence: The Six Mindsets That Distinguish the Best Leaders from the Rest (Scribner/Simon & Schuster, 2022). The book, which examined more than two decades of data on 7,800 CEOs in 70 countries, became an international business bestseller. Recently, the authors chatted with McKinsey Global Publishing leader Raju Narisetti to revisit the mindsets that have helped CEOs and aspiring leaders deliver impact. Check out the first and second installments of this discussion. Read more on the third installment below.
In this edition of Readers & Leaders, enhance your leadership skills and learn ways to set the direction of your team. Dewar, Keller, and Malhotra revisit the leadership lessons of the most successful CEOs, and Grace Puma shares how women can shatter the glass ceiling, despite only occupying 28 percent of C-suite positions. Philip Kotler and Giuseppe Stigliano present a new direction to help retailers meet the needs of consumers in the post-digital age, Chris Dixon outlines a vision for a decentralized internet that could inspire a new direction for innovation and growth, and Charles Duhigg explains the role that improved communication plays in relationship building.
Read on to find out more about how you can change your approach to leadership and inspire others to align with your vision.

| “There’s a body of thinking here that can be a handbook, that’s grounded in facts, that’s grounded in experience, that everyone should feel confident drawing from. Someone reading [CEO Excellence] can get the wisdom from all of those voices in one place.”
—Carolyn Dewar, McKinsey senior partner, in the third and final installment of CEO Excellence revisited, coming in April. | | | | | | | |
