The Ghosn Factor-24lessons from the world's most dynamic CEO by Miguel Rivas-Micoud, published by McGraw-Hill in 2007

The main purpose of this book is to introduce Carlos Ghosn’s management style. He is a well-known business manager who recently succeeded in the corporate revival of Nissan. The book introduces 24 teachings of Ghosn’s way of doing management, how a leader should be or do. To be honest, many concepts of his are too basic and are not too exciting to read, and some of them are regarding the mindsets of leaders. For instance, one of his “24 lessons” is “be patient,” which seems pretty a conventional idea that many already know. There wasn’t a lot of materials in this book by which I was absolutely surprised or blown away. If you are completely new to management, which I am, this may be a good start, but if you are looking for more practical and technical information and concepts, you are not going to get any of that. Overall, I enjoyed reading this book. It was not too difficult, fairly easy to read, so if you want to start learning about management, particularly leadership, this book can be your friend.
