Found Reading Matter

You find some enlightening reading material lying around in the office kitchen. Among the usual quick turnaround dross like a couple of days worth of Metros and my gig flyers there is usually some material with more staying power. The Amnesty magazines I've dropped there have always stayed and I know have lead to at least one sign-up (do I get a commission?). The FT appears from time to time. Strategic Risk magazine is currently liberally littered around the place, displaying headlines like "Kidnap – a booming industry"

My favourite find to date has been Chief Executive Officer magazine. Now, my understating of business organisation is not as clear as it might be - the view is obscured somewhat from my lowly position - but am I not right in thinking most businesses have just the one CEO?

Who left this here and for who to read? Surely it is only of interest to the person who bought (subscribed to?) it and a couple of people who are after their job. You'd think they wouldn't want to give them any pointers. The thing itself is bizarre. It's in the same high gloss finish as in-flight magazines, rather than the matt finish I like and am used to as is the current trend in fashion and graphics magazines. It's full of profiles of up and coming CEOs and statistical breakdowns of average CEO ages by industry (no mention of sex though). My favourite part of all of this though, is the wind down section in the back dedicated to improving your golf swing. No stereotypes reinforced there then. I'm not sure what I can add to that.
