Shireen Muhiudeen's latest book, We Are All Stakeholders: Culture, Politics, and Radical Accountability in the Boardroom, is currently the talk of the town in the corporate world
Since its release on 25 April this year, the book has skyrocketed to the top of the Amazon sales charts, earning the title of Amazon Best Seller and securing the #1 spot in both the Business Management Science and Business Ethics categories.
Shireen, who has 33 years of experience as a Kuala Lumpur-based fund manager, founded Corston-Smith Asset Management in 2004 and has led her firm to become an early signatory of the UN Principles for Responsible Investment.
Her book deeply dives into the obstacles hindering environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investment in today's boardrooms.
Her book identifies a persistent "old guard" in multinational corporations that resists change, clinging to outdated practices.
The book doesn't just highlight the problems but also offers actionable strategies for breaking through the status quo.
The book is a must-read for young business leaders looking to transform organisations into transparent, future-ready entities.
We Are All Stakeholders has been lauded by industry leaders and publications alike. The book doesn't just focus on ESG; it advocates for radical transparency and globally-minded decision-making, essential qualities for modern corporate culture.
The book has also garnered praise from Maurice "Hank" Greenberg, former CEO of AIG, who commended Shireen for providing insights and unvarnished perspectives on how today's board members can drive outstanding results and position their companies for future success.
Several high-profile readers from around the world have given the book glowing reviews
Yvonne Greeves, Director of Women in Business at NatWest Group, called it her new go-to guide for navigating boardroom challenges.
David B Yeske praised Shireen's ability to blend a high-minded call to action with practical advice, while Ashley Sharp highlighted the book's compelling argument for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in corporate boardrooms.
For young business owners and executives eager to make a lasting impact, We Are All Stakeholders is more than just a book — it's a blueprint for the future. It's time to push back against the old guard and build organisations that are not only successful but also responsible and sustainable.
