800-CEO-READ BESTSELLER
Featured in Fortune, Harvard Business Review, and Entrepreneur, Go Long is “mandatory reading for the CEOs and boards of all public companies,” according to David M. Rubenstein, co-founder and co-executive chairman of The Carlyle Group.
The lifespans of companies are growing shorter each day. Why do some companies thrive and grow, while others fail?
Inspired by the CEO AcademyŽ, the annual off-the-record gathering of chief executives organized by the authors, Go Long reveals how some of the world’s most prominent business leaders resisted short-term pressures to successfully manage their organizations for the long term, and in turn, aim to create more jobs, more satisfied customers, and more shareholder wealth.
In Go Long, authors Dennis Carey, Brian Dumaine, Michael Useem, and Rodney Zemmel take you behind-the-scenes to witness the business decisions that are enabling leading organizations to outsmart and outlast the competition.
