Reinvention at the Top

PRAISE FOR REINVENTION AT THE TOP

'Andrea Petrone has drawn essential lessons from his own executive experience to offer this thoughtful and practical book for CEOs and aspiring CEOs who want better alignment between who they are, what they say, and how they show up in their most consequential roles. Using its useful vocabulary and disciplined questions, leaders can avoid being defined solely by past success or by the systems they inherit.'
AMY C. EDMONDSON, Novartis Professor of Leadership and Management, Harvard Business School; and author, Right Kind of Wrong: The Science of Failing Well

'Andrea Petrone has captured what most leadership development misses entirely: that at the top, the greatest threat to performance isn't strategy or execution-it's the slow drift from who you are under pressure. The Identity, Message, Presence framework is a clear articulation of what separates leaders who endure from those who erode. It is a strong reminder that "tone at the top" matters!'
JAMES W. KEYES, Global business leader; philanthropist; and former CEO of two internationally recognized Fortune 500 companies, 7-Eleven, Inc. and Blockbuster, Inc.

'Andrea draws on decades of work with global leaders to offer something most leadership books miss: a direct, practical guide to staying aligned with who you are when the pressure to perform pulls you in every direction. A valuable read for any executive facing a defining moment.'
LORENZO SIMONELLI, Chairman and CEO, Baker Hughes

'We don't need more leadership frameworks. We need leaders who know who they are and refuse to fake it. Petrone has written that book, grounded in two decades of coaching CEOs through the pressure that breaks most leadership advice. Read it before your next big decision.'
GARY HAMEL, Co-author of Humanocracy and Visiting Professor, London Business School

'We all struggle to be impactful, influential, inspiring leaders. Reinvention at the Top will help every leader learn to be thoughtful, introspective, and powerful in their important role.'
JOSH BERSIN, Global Industry Analyst

'Having faced disruptive moments many times during my career, I learned what Petrone articulates better than anyone; under pressure, it's not your strategy that gets tested. It's your alignment with yourself. Every CEO should read this book before they need it.'
DAN ROSENSWEIG, CEO and Executive Chairman of Chegg, former CEO of Guitar Hero, former COO of Yahoo!, and former CEO of ZDNet
