Sustain Leadership—in a post-9/11 world—Minimize Risk

What does it take to maintain leadership in today's turbulent global environment? In The Sentinel CEO, leading executives, security chiefs, and academics provide candid insights into how business-as-usual has changed in the wake of 9/11.

William Parrett, Chief Executive Officer of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, shares his four decades of expertise to help business leaders, executives, and government officials understand and mitigate risks in this age of globalization. Revealing interviews with executives from America's leading corporations, including MetLife, Convergys, and Cantor Fitzgerald, help explain how CEOs and others have defined and achieved sustainable leadership after 9/11. Focusing on two broad issues—the evolution of corporate security and risk management as executive-level strategic functions, as well as the new focus on mastering the unexpected—The Sentinel CEO explores:

• The branding dilemma: how U.S. companies are rethinking their image abroad
• Lessons learned: CEOs discuss how their companies are anticipating and coping with terrorist threats and attacks
• Opportunity and risk in China and India
• "Imagining the unimaginable": how to look more closely at the real and unanticipated dangers of avian influenza
• Safeguarding security, as it pertains to travel, physical facilities, employees, and data
• The newest employee: how the Chief Security Officer is fast becoming a key decision maker in the top management of many U.S. companies and an indispensable ally of the CEO
• The precarious balance between enhancing security and maintaining America's ability to attract and retain foreign talent and business sustainability
• Sustaining leadership in an age when business is confronted with new risks and challenges as well as unprecedented opportunity

Dealing with risk and security has become an all-consuming task for today's business executives. The Sentinel CEO helps businesses prepare for an eventuality.

"Terrorism is hardly a contemporary phenomenon. But it is ever present today, and its manifestations more diverse than ever before. U.S. companies conducting business abroad have an obligation to their stakeholders to be more attuned to local customs and standards if they expect to be effective - and to mitigate risk - in the global business arena. The Sentinel CEO shares the insights of various CEOs on changes they have adopted to sustain their leadership while providing security to their employees and companies in turbulent times."--BOOK JACKET.
