“An outstanding book about CEOs who excelled at capital allocation.” — Warren Buffett #1 on Warren Buffett’s Recommended Reading List, Berkshire Hathaway Annual Shareholder Letter, 2012 Named one of “19 Books Billionaire Charlie Munger Thinks You Should Read” in Business Insider. “A book that details the extraordinary success of CEOs who took a radically different approach to corporate management.” — Charlie Munger, Vice-Chairman of Berkshire Hathaway Corporation “Thorndike explores the importance of thoughtful capital allocation through the stories of eight successful CEOs. A good read for any business leader but especially those willing to chart their own course.” — Michael Dell, chairman of the board of directors and chief executive officer of Dell What makes a successful CEO? Most people call to mind a familiar definition: “a seasoned manager with deep industry expertise.” Others might point to the qualities of today’s so-called celebrity CEOs—charisma, virtuoso communication skills, and a confident management style. But what really matters when you run an organization? What is the hallmark of exceptional CEO performance? Quite simply, it is the returns for the shareholders of that company over the long term. In this refreshing, counterintuitive book, author Will Thorndike brings to bear the analytical wisdom of a successful career in investing, closely evaluating the performance of companies and their leaders. You will meet eight individualistic CEOs whose firms’ average returns outperformed the S&P 500 by a factor of twenty—in other words, an investment of $10,000 with each of these CEOs, on average, would have been worth over $1.5 million twenty-five years later. You may not know all their names, but you will recognize their companies: General Cinema, Ralston Purina, The Washington Post Company, Berkshire Hathaway, General Dynamics, Capital Cities Broadcasting, TCI, and Teledyne. In The Outsiders, you’ll learn the traits and methods—striking for their consistency and relentless rationality—that helped these unique leaders achieve such exceptional performance. Humble, unassuming, and often frugal, these “outsiders” shunned Wall Street and the press, and shied away from the hottest new management trends. Instead, they shared specific traits that put them and the companies they led on winning trajectories: a laser-sharp focus on per share value as opposed to earnings or sales growth; an exceptional talent for allocating capital and human resources; and the belief that cash flow, not reported earnings, determines a company’s long-term value. Drawing on years of research and experience, Thorndike tells eye-opening stories, extracting lessons and revealing a compelling alternative model for anyone interested in leading a company or investing in one—and reaping extraordinary returns.

Even more common sense beyond conventional management thinking! At what point does your CEO instinct rebel against the latest business fad permeating your world? The latent common sense of the Captains of Industry should kick in early and hard; years of experience should have built bulwarks against the floods of academic slop constantly storm-surging over the landscape. The Newspeak and overthink of age-old problems inside of and outside the castle moat isn't simplifying the management thereof. This third volume of the Unconventional CEO series strikes hard at the heart of this darkness; common sense clarifies the understanding of issues. Common sense also 'simplicates' the solutions. All in all, this book perpetuates the belief and practice that the lessons from the trenches is more valuable than business school ideas. The seasoned CEO should find many dusted-off gems in these pages; reminders of the common sense that may have been rusting in their arsenal of experience. Aspiring leaders should revel in the discovery of already-learned lessons. Either way, the author's 30 year tenure as CEO of start-ups, listed and just managed companies shines a light into that foreboding corner of old-fashioned ideas that stood the test of time.

More lessons on common sense, ideas on getting more out of your position, and finding your CEO mojo. The Assault of compliance on common sense is relentless. So is stupidity. The fast pace of a changing business world is obscuring the use of common sense. The vagaries of 'business speak' obfuscate language. It is deemed barbaric not to use plain words to describe plans, actions and outcomes. A constant invention of terminology leaves a bewildering trail of confused translation of the intended meaning. To this the easily offended and the wayward business modeler add their distractions.How can common sense be found to cut through the increasing assault of compliance and similar distracting nonsense? After the good reception of Volume 1: The Unconventional CEO, the author dug a bit deeper under the scabs and scars of a profitable career as corporate (short) and entrepreneur (seemingly lifelong) career to find more lessons.The Return of the Unconventional CEO brings more trumping ideas, clarifying the mist of indecision with hard-won nuggets. The 60-odd chapters reflect experiences not found in popular management books or in polite management-speak conversations. If you liked the first volume, then you may find solace in some of these pages. It's cold and lonely of the bridge of the Ship of Fate, hopefully you will warm to some common sense with those 'a-ha!' moments when you are reminded that you knew that all along.

* Our summary is short, simple and pragmatic. It allows you to have the essential ideas of a big book in less than 30 minutes. As you read this summary, you'll learn about eight executives who have enabled their companies to generate exceptional returns for their shareholders. You will also discover: the landmark decisions these leaders made to transform their companies ; the commonalities in their visions and methods; the skills that shareholders expect from executives in terms of value creation; the importance of being surrounded by people you can trust; how effective management can distance itself from the demands of market players. From an economic point of view, the raison d'être of a company is the creation of value. The role of the manager is therefore fundamental and many investors are interested in his skills to judge the potential value of a company. The Outsiders presented here are not always leaders known to the general public, but they have nevertheless been at the head of companies that have achieved exceptional results. Their backgrounds and methods demonstrate the importance of executive decision-making. How did the Outsiders manage to build companies that outperformed the market and their peers? *Buy now the summary of this book for the modest price of a cup of coffee!
