Executive teams are a key ingredient of today's business world--from the charismatic CEO who relies on the operational expertise of a COO, to family businesses which trust in personal bonds to achieve professional results. This study examines duo and trio executive teams in practice to shed light on the personalities, relationships, and organizational principles characterizing the top echelons of corporate power, from international financial giants to creative industries. The book answers critical questions regarding how companies work and tackle issues of governance and accountability.
