elcome to the
new issue of
The CEO
Magazine.
This month
we have lots
of fascinating
features that I hope will inspire you to
innovate, invest and indulge.
First up is our story Launching Great Leaders
(page 12). We look at the many reasons why
it’s so important for you, as a CEO, to know
there are solid leadership skills in the next tier
down. From succession planning to employee
engagement, it certainly pays to build a supportive
team around you.
What could be costing you money in more
ways than one? Targets and bonus programs, says
Domini Stuart. In Fudging The Figures (page 122),
she suggests that the pressure to meet targets can
drive middle managers to tweak the numbers.
As a result, she asks the question: could your
decisions be based on false information?
In Recharge Your Batteries (page 106), Sam
McKeith says a new energy storage solution is
on the way, with batteries set to play a major role
in satisfying rapidly emerging global demand for

sustainable power. And in IoT: Hype or Revolution?

(page 72), we reveal how the Internet of Things

is set to transform the way companies across the

world do business.

We take a look at Lamborghini’s new SUV,

a ride on a Harley-Davidson Street Bob, and

a trip to Indonesia’s newest luxury eco resort

Bawah Island, all of which have inspired us to

take some time out and indulge a little – we

hope they inspire you too.

Enjoy the issue, see you next month.
