Bookseller Reviews
Alan Axelrod's portrait of multinational tycoon Queen Elizabeth I doesn't just transplant the Virgin Queen in to a leadership environment we can understand; it revitalizes her. Even Elizabethan enthusiasts will benefit from his delineation of the original Q.E. 1 as an sixteenth century master of the Information Age. And we suspect that many post-modern CEO's can learn something from Elizabeth's adroit handling of her Councilors.Alan Axelrod is a Business Week best-selling author. A respected authority on business and management topics, he has also written works of historical biography. In Elizabeth I CEO, his varied skills converge to produce an important book that is both informative and entertaining. When Elizabeth ascended the throne in 1558, England was the laughing stock of Europe. Economic, political, and religious calamities were numerous, and Elizabeth endured constant criticism. But by the end of her 45-year reign, England was one of the world's mightiest nations. Axelrod uses the legendary Queen's life as a model for modern leadership, and a powerful example of how one person can make an extraordinary difference. Elizabeth I CEO is an indispensable guide for today's business managers and leaders. It is also an inspiring read for those taking their first steps up the corporate ladder, or those who simply love history. Nelson Runger's narration gives a renewed energy to Elizabeth's lessons, which are as relevant today as they were four centuries ago.
