Recommendation

C. Ray Johnson analyzes the thought processes used by successful CEOs and breaks them down into a simple, step-by-step formula anyone can practice. Focusing on the fundamentals, this book is an excellent overview for any manager eyeing advancement, and can help average managers become extraordinary managers. Use it to help you identify the simple decisions that underlie the complex particulars of any given business situation. The organization of the book makes it easy to find information relating to specific disciplines, yet it flows smoothly if you want to read it cover to cover. This is not an academic book, but a practical one, which the author developed based upon 25 years of lessons learned while managing diverse public and private companies with annual revenues ranging from $5 million to $500 million. getAbstract recommends this book to managers at any level, especially those who are working hard toward a promotion.

Take-Aways

  • To think like a CEO, always base your decisions on solid business fundamentals.
  • Don't focus on what successful CEOs are doing, look instead at the thoughts that are driving their actions.
  • Make sure the business you are in is the right one. If you have no sustainable competitive edge, you have no prospect for sustainable profits.
