Have you always known what you wanted to be in life?What are some “watershed moments” that made you who you are?When did you get on track to become a successful CEO?It started with three questions at Davos. The younger Peter Vanham looked to the answers from the elite leaders he asked to validate his own career choice, and the rich, private wisdom he received revealed more about building a career than he’d found anywhere else. He shares it all with you in Before I Was CEO.For everyone who lays awake at night wondering if they’re heading up or down the corporate ladder, this collection of personal stories from a remarkable group of the most accomplished men and women in business today proves everyone can put themselves in the C-suite by taking a variety of different paths—it’s all how you do it. Some found opportunity through adversity and others came by their big-break moments through serendipity. A group of them walked away from corporate life and lived in other ways and all of them made calculated moves to advance their careers. In their own words, read how it all unfolded, the tough decisions they wrestled, the risks and rewards they saw, and how it all came together. You don’t need a royal pedigree or Ivy League education to reach the top as long as you:• Value family, leave home, and make informed decisions based on your dreams• Take the first thirty-five years of your life to discover what you’re interested in and don’t rush to be a CEO• Strategically deal with failure, remember the lessons you learned, and adapt to situations you can’t changeYou aren’t the first person to be at the crossroads you’re standing in, and with the motivating and instructive stories in Before I Was CEO, you may be answering a young journalist’s questions at Davos one day.

Stakeholder-Kapitalismus

Unser globales Wirtschaftssystem ist kaputt. Es ist geprägt von globalen Umbrüchen, Unsicherheit und mangelnder Nachhaltigkeit. Aber wir können das derzeitige ökonomische System durch ein anderes ersetzen - eine Wirtschaft, die für alle Menschen und den Planeten funktioniert. Was müssen wir dafür tun? Erstens müssen wir die steigende Einkommensungleichheit innerhalb von Gesellschaften beseitigen, in denen sich das Produktivitäts- und Lohnwachstum verlangsamt hat. Zweitens müssen wir die dämpfende Wirkung der monopolistischen Marktmacht großer Konzerne auf Innovationen und Produktivitätssteigerungen reduzieren. Und schließlich muss die kurzsichtige Ausbeutung natürlicher Ressourcen beendet werden, die die Umwelt zersetzt und das Leben vieler Menschen zum Schlechten beeinflusst.Die Debatte über die Ursachen der kaputten Wirtschaft ist vielfältig - von Laissez-faire-Regierungen, über schlecht gemanagte Globalisierung bis hin zum Aufstieg der Technologie zu Gunsten einiger weniger, um nur einige Punkte zu nennen. Das Buch argumentiert überzeugend, dass unser derzeitiges System uns weiterhin im Stich lassen wird, wenn wir nicht damit beginnen, die wahre Form unserer Probleme zu erkennen. Um uns zu helfen, unsere Herausforderungen klarer zu sehen, sucht Schwab - der Gründer und Executive Chairman des Weltwirtschaftsforums - nach den wahren Ursachen für die Unzulänglichkeiten unseres Systems und nach Lösungen in bewährten Praktiken aus der ganzen Welt an so unterschiedlichen Orten wie China, Dänemark, Äthiopien, Deutschland, Indonesien, Neuseeland und Singapur. Dabei findet Schwab Beispiele für neue Wege, die Anlass zur Hoffnung geben, darunter:- Individuelles Handeln: wie Länder und Politik einen Unterschied gegenüber großen externen Kräften machen können.- Ein klar definierter Gesellschaftsvertrag: Die Einigung auf gemeinsame Werte und Ziele ermöglicht es Regierungen, Wirtschaft und Individuen, die besten Ergebnisse zu erzielen.- Planung für künftige Generationen: Kurzsichtiges Denken schadet unserer gemeinsamen Zukunft und der derjenigen, die noch geboren werden.- Bessere Maßstäbe für wirtschaftlichen Erfolg: weg vom kurzsichtigen Fokus auf das Bruttoinlandsprodukt, hin zu umfassenderen, auf den Menschen bezogenen Maßstäben für gesellschaftliches Wohlergehen.Durch die genaue Beschreibung unserer realen Situation ist der hier vorgestellte Stakeholder-Kapitalismus in der Lage, erreichbare Wege zur Lösung unserer Probleme aufzuzeigen. Kapitel für Kapitel zeigt uns Professor Schwab, dass es für jeden auf allen Ebenen der Gesellschaft Möglichkeiten gibt, die zerbrochenen Teile der globalen Wirtschaft neu zu formen und - Land für Land, Unternehmen für Unternehmen und Bürger für Bürger - wieder so zusammenzusetzen, dass wir alle davon profitieren können.
