Some good ideas and worth the read.

There are some good tips on culture, interviews, reviewing your team, etc. Nothing that blew my mind but a few items that I found different and beneficial from other books.

This is well worth the read!

In a very short book, Trey Taylor succinctly lines out the BIG ROCKS for a CEO. It will be a "re-read" resource for me in my business.

Way more than that title

Someone suggested this book to me and I dismissed the deep value until after reading it. Throughout I gained many nuggets and it was far from boring.

Great

Such an eye opener; theory and situations end dialogue between the student and master are amazing! I will come back and listen again and again for better understanding. Loved and enjoyed it!

Great Real-World Advice

This book does a great job of describing the traits of being a CEO and the issues faced by both small and large organizations. It never felt like I was listening a purely academic lesson, but rather real-world scenarios that every leader will face at some point. Highly recommended.
