The first book by a Coca-Cola CEO tells the remarkable story of the company’s revival.

Neville Isdell was a key player at Coca-Cola for more than thirty years, retiring in 2009 as Chairman after rebuilding the tarnished brand image of the world’s leading soft-drink company. Inside Coca-Cola tells an extraordinary personal and professional worldwide story, ranging from Northern Ireland to South Africa to Australia, the Philippines, Russia, Germany, India, South Africa, and Turkey. Isdell helped put out huge public-relations fires (India and Turkey), opened markets (Russia, Eastern Europe, the Philippines, and Africa), championed Muhtar Kent, the current Turkish-American CEO, all while living the ideal of corporate responsibility. Isdell’s―and Coke’s―story is newsy without being gossipy; principled without being preachy, and filled with stories and lessons appealing to anyone who has ever taken “the pause that refreshes.” It’s also a readable and important look at how companies can market and govern themselves more―ethically and to great success.

2011年10月5日,苹果公司的灵魂人物史蒂夫·乔布斯离世,此前,他指定了蒂姆·库克接管他的苹果帝国。乔布斯是一个明星,而默默无闻的库克虽然在幕后已经是运营苹果的专家,但在台前仍然是个新手,僵硬的公众亮相、动荡的高管团队、平淡无奇的产品和外界的质疑,让库克的继任之路异常艰辛。

在难以超越乔布斯光环的压力下,库克低调而从容地坚持“把事做好”。库克坚信,优秀的战略应与优秀的文化价值观相辅相成,他带领苹果从推动可再生能源发展、降低产品毒性物质、使苹果成为“行善的力量”,到致力于打造以人为先的供应链,不断提高用户的隐私安全,大力推动苹果成为一家更具包容性和多样性的公司。库克发挥了自己独特的优势,补齐了运营短板,推动跨部门协作,在每一处转折都进行了创新,有力地改善了苹果的运营。2018年,苹果公司成为世界上首家市值破万亿美元的科技公司,获得了“全球最具价值公司”的美誉,并且连续4年占据“全球最赚钱公司榜单”榜首。

Journalist Leander Kahney reveals how CEO Tim Cook has led Apple to astronomical success after the death of Steve Jobs in 2011.

The death of Steve Jobs left a gaping void at one of the most innovative companies of all time. Jobs wasn’t merely Apple’s iconic founder and CEO; he was the living embodiment of a global megabrand. It was hard to imagine that anyone could fill his shoes–especially not Tim Cook, the intensely private executive who many thought of as Apple’s operations drone.
