The Chief Executives
By Isadore Barmash 
2004/04 - Beard Books 1587982285 - Paperback - Reprint - 255 pp. US$34.95 This provocative book dealing with the chief executive cult in America should be read by anyone interested in the American corporate system and those who run it. Publisher Comments
Isadore Barmash, one of the country's most respected business writers, takes a penetrating look into the minds, hearts, consciences, attitudes, and life styles of the CEOs of the 1970s. This surprisingly candid book is based upon extensive research and interviews with influential corporate chiefs, management consultants, and economists. Among others, Reginald Jones of GE, Irving Shapiro of Du Pont, and John de Butts of AT&T offer new insights into management's modus operandi, problems, and their own special public and private worlds.
From Thomas E. Mullaney, former Financial Editor of The New York Times and economic columnist: Isadore Barmash bored into the mystique surrounding one of the most influential elements of American society -- the chief executive cult in business and industry -- and unveiled a fascinating picture of their power... A provocative book that should be read eagerly by chief executives themselves, by those who aspire to such roles, by students, politicians, psychologists, stockholders, and by anyone at all interested in the working of the American system and those who guide it.
