15 skills of an effective leader: what you need to do every day to achieve extraordinary results

Most CEOs work a lot. But very few do it truly effectively.

Meetings, urgent issues, operations, and dozens of decisions a day create a sense of constant busyness, but do not guarantee sustainable business growth. It all depends on how the leader experiences their workday.

Vladimir Mozhenkov is one of the best managers at Audi in Europe and the author of the bestseller "The CEO's Gene"—he demonstrates through his own example that the personal effectiveness of the top people in a company is its key asset and driver of growth.

His new book is a guide to unlocking the "productivity gene"—the management DNA that directly influences the scale of the business and extraordinary results.

At its core is the author's model of daily rituals: working with numbers and priorities, team development, execution discipline, and personal energy management.
