5.0 out of 5 stars If you want to remain a sheeple then pass on this book
Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2008
The Spanish have the great idea of "work to live," many American s though have the "live to work" mentality, finding themselves not doing what they want to do, or being who they want to be. If you truly want to be something or do something, then this is a book that will help you overcome your own self-doubts, and your own worries knowing that if you are happy and doing the things you should be doing, then everything else follows along nicely. Nevertheless, if you want to learn what people have been saying about people being successful, in that if you listen to your own inner voice because you know you best, then you want to read this book.

Business schools teach that the top 10% of people carry the organization providing over 50% of the total revenue of the company. What is common about these people is that they all are doing something that they believe in, want to do and in many cases love to do. This is the key to the book, clear out your mind of all the things that don't make sense, and start being your own person, your own boss, and start doing the things you want to do, the things you love to do, and if you are very good at it, then you will do just fine in the longer run.

Five of Five stars for this book, was very good to read, and should be part of anyone's own personal business discovery.

I understand why I wake up at 3 AM in the morning. The work-out pages are helpful, but not necessary.

4.0 out of 5 stars Your Inner CEO
Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2007
In 1985, as I was (literally) flying from California to Chicago to assume a significant new role with my employer, I read Allan Cox's book The Making of the Achiever. That book was for me my "Ah Ha, that's it" moment. By the time I landed at O'Hare, I had my blueprint for my new job. I have, admittedly, followed Cox's work even since.

Cox's latest highly readible effort, Your Inner CEO, is yet another blueprint for those who want the spark that will allow them to move from one level ("ordinary performance") to the top ("extraordinary accomplishment"). To help us "get that," Allan Cox shares stories from his personal coaching experiences that clearly and comprehensively provide roadmaps for those of us who may need to work harder on ourselves that we do on our jobs -- a good learning message.

Another take away, highlighted by self assessments used by Cox to help us stay on message, is the importance of understanding oneself before we can (most effectively) understand the environment around us. While all nine chapters of Your Inner CEO are solid --- Goals, Changes, Boundries and Models have much to offer.

Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2007
The Right CEO: Straight Talk About Making Tough CEO Selection Decisions

Look in the mirror: are you comfortable in your own skin, effective in your relationships with others, a "best in class" CEO or CEO wannabe? Allan Cox's "Your Inner CEO' is a must read for anyone seeking to unleash one's personal capabilities to become an effective and sought-after leader. The Author is a highly regarded executive coach, selector, management team facilitator and CEO confidant. While his writings espouse a more behavioral bent (Cox is a disciple of Alfred Adler), it is his applicztion of the Adlerian principles in a highly practical interpretation that makes for an easy read. Most CEO candidates possess the "tool kit" of experiential knowledge, but so many fail to be selected by discerning boards because they lack the behavioral traits that make for excellent leadership. "Your Inner CEO" has several straight talk chapters that contain self-administered assessment tools designed to help the reader get real with their values, or as Allan writes: "living to one's essences...mastering boundaries...unleashing the CEO you want to become...facing the unanticipated." This book also contains the revelation of Allan's early personal epiphany that shaped his consultancy plus several real-world client CEO cases, and a stream of pithy parables. It will be a companion, a management tool which you will want to have at easy reach for reference, as opposed to the too many other management books that we find resting on the shelf. Frederick Wackerle, Author, "The Right CEO," (Jossey-Bass)

5.0 out of 5 stars Impactful from beginning to end!
Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2007
Allan has connected psychology to results like no other author before him. He clearly understands the barriers that are created by the mind, which in turn prevent executives from reaching their full potential. This is truly a "self help book" for executives seeking peace with their occupation and still maximum results. I have always felt that until you can get more clarity of your subconscious and its effect...you will never be able to be a "natural" in the work place and at home. Allan shows us why we need to do this and how.

Values, transparency and continuous focus. Allan shows how important it is for the CEO/Executive to bring these attributes out. He shows us the crucial value of conviction and integrity and how they effect those we work with (Looks like healthy morals actually have a place in the business world....who would have guessed? :)).

What I like the most...this is not rocket science. Just no one has put it to words like this. Done this type of research. Then, displayed the information in a format that is so clearly applicable for executives across the board.

Awesome! ...a must read!
