Too often, we read or hear leadership commentary from consultants, researchers, and academics, and less from global leaders. Based on an ongoing series of interviews, we will periodically offer global leaders’ inside vantage point in this column. We begin with Dr. Daniel Vasella, the 17-year chairman and CEO of Novartis, the $60 billion life sciences industry leader. I had the good fortune of dialoging with Dr. Vasella on several intriguing topics relevant to CEO Leadership, as he is transitioning out of his role as chairman. Excerpts from that conversation are featured in this article and in one that will follow.

The image above shows 129 Ultra4 racing rigs lined up for the start of the 2013 Griffin King of the Hammers. In case you missed Part One that explains why they’re there and why they might be doing the most difficult and absurd one-day off-road race in the world, check it out. After a week of races in other events and two days of qualifying for the big show, the men and women who made it in were lined up to do three laps of a course around the 140,000-acre Johnson Valley OHV area in California’s San Bernardino County.
