In this sixth volume of Alan Axelrod's popular CEO series, he dispenses the wisdom of a female monarch for the first time since his Businessweek bestseller Elizabeth I, CEO. Catherine the Great traveled from Germany to Russia at only 14 years of age, and rose to become one of the most remarkable, powerful, and captivating rulers in history. Axelrod profiles this strong and beloved leader, examining her qualities of intellect, heart, and character, and distilling her words and actions into more than 100 practical and modern leadership lessons. Women, in particular, will appreciate this study of a role model—one of only two Russian tsars ever to earn the title “Great.”

Alan Axelrod is the author of more than 60 books, including the bestsellers Profiles in Audacity and the Real History of the Cold War (both Sterling), and What Every American Should Know About American History: 200 Events That Shaped the Nation (with Charles Phillips; Adams Media Corporation). He has appeared on MSNBC, the Discovery Channel, CNN, Fox, and numerous radio news and talk programs, including NPR. Axelrod and his work have been featured in Businessweek, Fortune, Men's Health, Cosmopolitan, and many newspapers, including USA Today.
