Interview by: Alistair Craven
Stephen H. Baum has been an advisor and coach to CEOs for more than 20 years, first as a partner with Booz Allen & Hamilton, the global consultancy – where beyond the client work he was also on the appraisal and development committee and mentored young associates – then as an independent practitioner.
As chair of a Vistage Group of business owners and Chief Executives engaged in peer-to-peer coaching, Mr. Baum’s role is to facilitate confidential exchange of experience, expertise, approaches to decisions, ideas and resources on issues of critical importance to the members.
Mr. Baum’s new book What Made jack welch JACK WELCH is based on his interviews with more than two dozen CEOs and his career of serving and observing such CEOs as a business advisor. Incorporating additional research, Baum reveals the pattern of ten archetypal shaping experiences responsible for the exceptional personal growth of such people.
