Today's CEO must be a global leader who also understands that parts of the business must be managed locally. Someone who sets a strategic vision, though industry and technology disruptions will surely threaten that vision. Someone who must live in the future to go to the future, while continuously creating economic and social value.

This fictional narrative puts this increasingly complex job in context--by enabling you to walk alongside Jim Barton, the new CEO of Santa Monica Aerospace, as he steps into the role. Barton's story, developed in consultation with seasoned, real-life CEOs, contains crucial lessons for all leaders hoping to master the new skills required to move into the C-suite. From formulating and executing strategy to cultivating a high-performing management team to working with a multi-generational board, the book offers a wealth of teaching moments.
