Reviews for The Enlightened CEO
“How is it possible that this book didn’t exist until now? There are at least 20,000 CEOs who need to not just read this book, but to study it, mark it up and take it to heart. And if you’re hoping to become a CEO, I can’t think of a better place to start.”
- Seth Godin, Author, “The Dip”
“When I first became a CEO, I used to say that not only was it lonely at the top, but there was no book on how to be a CEO. Now there is a book and the journey is much less lonely. Where most CEO books are full of anecdotal “quick fixes,” Bob and Gordon take the road less traveled, focusing on the real issues that CEOs face and more importantly how to approach the CEO job. For my money there is no substitute for experience, and this book is rich in the insights of two CEOs who know of which they speak.”
- Bob Grabill, President & CEO of the Chief Executive Network
“If you absorb this CEO insight and truly get it, you will avoid years of scar tissue from the cruel experience of trial and error mistakes. Anyone with current or future CEO aspirations can apply the principles of this reference to fast forward their professional qualifications and their probability of success. If you value simplicity and specifics, this is the CEO blueprint you need to build an enlightened business organization.”
- Phil Casey, Chairman, Gerdau Ameristeel
