In un contesto di incessante mutamento, in cui le logiche consolidate di competizione e crescita appaiono inadeguate, il ruolo del CEO sta subendo una significativa trasformazione. Da semplice esecutore di strategie, il CEO si sta reinventando come un «Chief Equilibrium Officer», ovvero una figura capace non soltanto di guidare, ma anche di interpretare con agilità i mutamenti, riconoscere le disarmonie e ridisegnare un equilibrio all’interno delle strutture organizzative. Basandosi su intuizioni tratte dalla rivista MIT Sloan Management Review, questo volume si configura come una risorsa indispensabile per i leader contemporanei, desiderosi di instaurare una cultura aziendale che sappia coniugare innovazione e sostenibilità.
