CEO by PATRICIA E. GITT
|
SummaryMelissa Lynn Horn, ML to her peers, has honed her executive
and leadership skills as Vice President of Haynes
Associates, a private management consultant firm, where she
was the disciple of EF Haynes. Mr. Haynes is a man of power
and influence and also Chairman of the Board of United
Chemicals Corporation (UCC). It was EF who placed ML's name
into play for CEO, at a time when the Board was searching
for a new chief executive to revitalize the corporation and
lead it into the 21st Century. Plucky Pamela Green, is a
columnist for Economic World magazine. She plans to write a
biography of ML Horn however she cannot get a book deal
unless the biography is authorized. Pamela gets approval to
shadow ML as she goes about her introduction to the
corporate insiders, their customers and select government
officials. The reporter gets to observe the insider's game
of power as ML gains control of her male peers. The reader
will follow the single mindedness of a career driven! woman
as she scales the corporate heights, fights off a usurper
for her title and an enemy out to destroy UCC. They will
see the insecurities of a woman who has never been in a
successful relationship, as she learns from a special man,
what it is to receive and give love. CEO is a corporate
page-turner complete with ambition, betrayal, romance and
greed. It is a slice of corporate life, from the viewpoint
of the first woman to be appointed CEO of an industrial
corporation. CEO is real life upped in pace, color, flavor
and tempo. Possessing the ambition that is comparable to
that of a man, ML attacks her responsibilities with the
zeal of a competitor. The only acceptable outcome is to
win! In the end, does the woman make the CEO -- or does
being CEO force the executive to become a woman?
