Book Description

This report proposes orderly methods of selecting a qualified police chief executive and of retaining him after selection.

Chief Culture Officer


Book Description

The American corporation--deaf and blind to the world around it--needs a new professional. It needs a Chief Culture Officer. Grant McCracken, an anthropologist who now trains some of the world's biggest companies and consulting firms, argues that the CCO would keep a finger on the pulse of contemporary cultural trends while developing a systematic understanding of the deep waves of culture in America and the world. The CCO would be the corporation's eyes and ears, allowing it to detect coming changes, even when they exist only as the weakest of signals.
