Today's celebrity CEO is either a figurehead or an egomaniac, too public a personality to get the real work done. That work is done instead by teams of leaders: exceptional deputies who forge great partnerships to maximize both organizational and personal success. Written for CEOs, managers, and anyone else interested in modern organizations, this is the first comprehensive study of co-leaders and their often quiet power. In a growing number of non-hierarchical organizations, talent, not title, is the source of power; boss and subordinate seem more like peers, with the spotlight on great partnerships. Co-leaders understand both the executive and subordinate experience, making them better adapted to the needs of the new millennium, where those who can command and follow will prove to be the greatest assets of any organization.

      In what could have been titled "Great Second Bananas of Our Time," the authors tell how the success of many superstar leaders was helped by their supportive, low-visibility partners. Using examples from the worlds of business, government, and sports, these two leadership gurus and business professors tell seamless stories of people who, though second in command, had enormous power within their spheres of influence. Some were actually more powerful than their more visible partners, like Steve Ballmer of Microsoft, or more comfortable in the second chair, like University of North Carolina Assistant Basketball Coach Bill Guthridge. The stories have historical and instructional significance that will hold the listener's attention in spite of a rather mechanical reading. T.W. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine
