From Predators to Icons Exposing The Myth of the Business Hero

A provocative reconsideration of corporate power and leadership, From Predators to Icons challenges the mythology surrounding celebrated business figures. Sharp, questioning, and timely, it looks beyond polished reputations to examine how heroic narratives are built—and why they endure. Rather than accepting the cult of the visionary executive at face value, the book explores the forces that shape public admiration in business culture. It invites readers to think critically about influence, media framing, institutional success, and the distance between image and reality. Insightful and analytical, this is a compelling read for anyone interested in management, business culture, and the stories modern organizations tell about power and achievement.
