About Understanding Start-Up CEOs: And the Mindset You Need to Successfully Work For One
Do you ever wonder what goes on in the mind of a CEO?
What are they thinking?
What motivates them?
How can I be successful working for one?
These are all common questions that if go unanswered make it seem like CEOs are impossible to understand.
To successfully work with the CEO at any organization, you need to perform at a level you might not be used to from past positions, company cultures, or expectations. In addition, expect your relationship with the CEO to present both unique career-building opportunities as well as daunting and over-whelming challenges at times. Above all else though, remember that one of your CEO’s core functions is to make sure the right people are in the right positions at all times, which means your boss will be looking at you more times than you might think and asking whether you’re still the right fit given the needs of the company.
This book, purposefully conversational in tone, focuses on how you can do 10x better in your role by thinking like a CEO.
