Even a suspended schoolboy can become a CEO
From suspended schoolboy to disruptive CEO, Alex Malley has led a life
rich in success and mistakes. Through it all he has learned a lot about
what it takes to successfully build not only a big career, but also a
big life — the secrets of which he shares in his new book, The
Naked CEO.
In this inspirational guide, Alex — CPA Australia CEO and host of the
Nine Network’s The Bottom Line — combines his candid,
real-life stories with practical career advice to help aspiring leaders
navigate the professional world.
From growing up with a mother who suffered from clinical depression, to
his career misadventures and leadership insights learnt the hard way,
Alex leaves nothing off the table in his quest to help students, people
in workplace transition, fledgling leaders and jobseekers.
“Mentoring students and professionals has been an important part of
my life for many years. Through this book, I want to challenge our
future leaders to have the courage to throw themselves into experiences
and test what they’re capable of to lead a big and successful life.
“I’ve shared many of my experiences, the good and the bad, in the
hope that readers will gain some insights to help guide them on their
own career and life journey,” Alex says.
Born out of the success of the highly popular online mentoring
community, thenakedceo.com,
Wiley approached Alex to write the book after viewing the extraordinary
engagement Alex achieved with young people. Through thenakedceo.com,
Alex has personally video responded to close to 1000 career-related
questions, and the website has generated over two million visits in
three years.
With powerful real-life success stories and outstanding practical
advice, The Naked CEO provides 24/7 access to a career and
life mentor. Inside, readers will find advice on how to:
-
Become a leader who gets results
-
Stand out, get noticed and build an influential network
-
Establish rapport with colleagues and boost team performance
-
Spot opportunities and learn how (and when) to say no
-
Get organised, set priorities and build confidence.
A book that every young professional should have on their desk, The
Naked CEO is a fantastic Christmas or graduation gift idea for
parents.
