Synopsis

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.

This was a great read - Elizabeth was an exceptional monarch & leader. She ascended the throne of a nation that was turbulent, full of divisive religious beliefs (inherited from her father & sister) & essentially broke. Under her reign, England enjoyed greater prosperity & stability than ever before......more

De todos los libros que me mandaron a leer en UNIBE, el *ÚNICO* que todavía recuerdo y que leí dos veces fue este. Lo leí en español porque estaba trending en ese entonces, pero fue ¡un librazo!
