CEO advisor Elena L. Botelho uses cutting edge CEO Genome Research to bust the myths about what it takes to succeed and to make the prospect of success more accessible to everyone. Forget the stories of natural born leaders and flawless career paths. This research on the largest data set of CEOs and leaders reveals the actual behaviors and choices that can help anyone advance to their potential. A former Associate Partner at McKinsey & Company, Elena is a senior partner at the leadership advisory firm ghSMART where she advises CEOs of Fortune 500 companies and leading investment firms on the most important leadership priorities: who to put in charge and how to accelerate their success. Through extensive research, spanning 25 years with 4-5 hour-interviews with over 18,000 leaders, the research team has identified the four key characteristics that differentiate successful CEOs. Elena is also the co-author of “The CEO Next Door: The 4 Behaviors that Transform Ordinary People into World-Class Leaders,” a New York Times and Wall Street Journal Bestseller.
