Next Gen CEO

Everything you know about leadership is about to expire. The rulebook most leaders rely on was written for a slower world that no longer exists. Next Gen CEO is not a book about management theory. It is about the raw mechanics of leadership - the principles that remain when the noise of the modern world is stripped away. In 60 sharp, micro-learning chapters, Mike Soutar distils decades of experience as a founder, CEO, and the formidable interviewer from BBC’s The Apprentice. These are the benchmarks Mike used to judge Britain’s most ambitious entrepreneurs and the hard-won truths he used to scale his own multi-million-pound businesses. Inside, you’ll learn how to: • Lose more arguments - and become stronger for it. • Stop being everyone else’s problem solver. • Design teams that don’t need you in every room. • Stay on fire - without burning out. No jargon. No waffle. Just battle-tested frameworks for a world where AI, distributed work, and economic upheaval are reshaping the workplace in real time. Leadership is a behaviour, not a job title. The future will reward those who learn faster than the world is changing. Are you ready to be a leader others choose to follow?
