How to Think Like a CEO

, star, star, star, star, star. Well, the five stars provided just weren't enough. ~ grin ~

In a word: Brilliant. I've often wished for an opportunity to sit down and "discuss" with my favorite successful CEOs, to find out what really makes them tick. If you've ever thought so too, so that you could learn and benefit from the experience, habits and traits of the top chiefs, you're in for a rare treat. This book is a unique glimpse and valuable read.

Debra Benton shares her insights as she presents priceless business and life lessons learned from these talented people, with captivating interest, great clarity and good humor.

"How to Think Like a CEO" is one you will reference and enjoy, time and again. You'll gain the advantage, AND you'll improve your iPod. (Optimize your Otis, etc. :)

Could be better

The book had some good advice, but needed more in-depth analysis of what makes one CEO succeed versus another.

maybe it's me, but the reading was dry and took away from some of the contents impact. I found myself wandering off in my own thoughts because of the monotonous presentation.

Executive Charisma is better

Executive Charisma is a better effort by the author and I recommend it highly. I bought this title as I liked Executive Charisma so much - I was mostly disappointed with this work but there is some good stuff here - another contrast between the two works is that Executive Charisma was professionally narrated and this was not. Big difference, the pros are much easier on the ears.
