The author of seven books on leadership, talent, executive coaching and succession planning, John
Mattone is widely acknowledged as one the world’s leading authorities on leadership, talent and culture.
Harrisburg, PA, November 09, 2014 - One of the world’s leading authorities on leadership, talent and
corporate culture is teaming with the Managing Editor of The CEO Magazine to co-author a
forthcoming book, “Cultural Transformations: Lessons on Leadership & Corporate
Reinvention from the C-Suite Elite” (Wiley & Sons, 2016).
John Mattone, a best-selling leadership author, leading C-Suite coach, speaker and top-ranked
independent leadership consultant, and Nick Vaidya, Managing Editor of The CEO Magazine, will
co-author the book.
By using engaging CEO “fireside” chats, this book will expose current leaders of all levels,
emerging c-suite executives, and future leaders to the unique insights, thoughts, beliefs, values,
character success stories, setbacks, failures, and lessons learned of some of the world’s most
successful CEOs. The book will also show how these successful CEOs have leveraged what they’ve
learned about themselves as the critical foundation to their creating and sustaining powerful and
positive organizational cultures.
“It is our premise that creating and sustaining a winning culture in any organization starts at the
top with CEOs and senior leaders who possess a strong and vibrant ‘inner-core’, which includes
their character, values, beliefs, thinking patterns, and emotional make up,” says Mattone.
Having already received commitments from one of the world’s top female executives, Kathy
Mazzarella, Chairman, President & CEO of Fortune 500 Graybar and Juan Carlos Archila , CEO of
Claro Colombia, Mattone and Vaidya are currently lining up interviews other top international
CEOs who have earned a reputation for being a leaders of character and leading positive
transformation in their respective businesses.
“The 25 leaders who are selected for inclusion in the book will be the best-of-the-best CEOs who
are leaders of character and who have proven to be positive leaders of transformation in their
organization,” says Mattone.
The authors are donating 50 percent of their earned royalties on the book to breast cancer
research, too. Mattone notes that his wife, Gayle, is a two-time breast cancer survivor and
continues to be a tremendous inspiration to him and their four-adult children.
