The title says all of it. From time to time its good to break away from the habbit of reading tech books and read something truly inspirational. This book is all about 7 CEOs who are either working or worked in 7 of the best managed global giants.

The book is not an exhaustive read, but a good one. I also liked the line up of CEOs since the majority are from IT industry. Michael Dell of Dell Computers, Jack Welch of GE, Lou Gerstner of IBM, Andy Grove of Intel, Bill Gates of Microsoft, Herb Kelleher of SouthWest Airlines and finally Sam Walton of Wal Mart are the featured CEOs.

Reading through the book gives you the impression of attending an MBA class. :)

For me, Jack Welch was the most impressive. Specially how he implemented the Quality Program Six Sigma at GE. I could get some tips from his effort to fine tune our CMMI initiative as well.
