A number of years ago, Dennis Carey co-wrote an article that is still entirely relevant today.  Entitled “Leadership Development: What New CEOs Can Learn From Old CEOs,” the article explains why Dennis Carey started the CEO Academy.  In the article, he explains that,

“That is why we have come to believe that CEOs need to learn what they can from others who have acquired, largely by trial-and-error, insights into how to run a company. We believe there is an immense and largely untapped body of knowledge on these subjects.  It resides among the fraternity of experienced, seasoned, and retired CEOs who have been working in the trenches for many years.  They may well be the best “executive education” resource for current and future CEOs.”
