Most leaders of American companies started out as ordinary people. What prepared them for the top job? Countless more ordinary people of equal talent never developed the leadership core required to run the show. Why not?

What made jack welch JACK WELCH1? What made gordon bethune GORDON BETHUNE2? What made cathie black CATHIE BLACK3?

Based on his interviews with more than two dozen CEOs, based on his career of serving and observing such CEOs as business advisor and incorporating his additional research, Stephen H. Baum reveals the pattern of ten archetypal shaping experiences responsible for the exceptional personal growth of such people.
