Un libro perfectamente prescindible que se lee en un par de horas que podrían haberse dedicado a leer un buen libro。

Outdated and does not feel applicable to a software engineer in 2020This book was recommended to me as a book to help me be a better employee。 I did not find it helpful。

How to Become a CEO was a great book with great advice for someone starting off in the business world。 Time and time again， the aspect of making goals and writing them down has been cited as part of a successful life， as does this book。 Despite being outdated， the book was an easy and enjoyable read！

tThe book “How To Become Ceo” by Jefferey J。 Fox is a novel that gives various tips on how one can become the ceo of a company。 Each chapter provides a different tip and explains it in detail。 I found this book， because a few weeks ago my dad gave me multiple books that he said I should read going into college to prepare me for when I have a job and work for a company and this was one of them。 It was the first one that I read because I found it the most interesting。 tThe novel gives various ways tThe book “How To Become Ceo” by Jefferey J。 Fox is a novel that gives various tips on how one can become the ceo of a company。 Each chapter provides a different tip and explains it in detail。 I found this book， because a few weeks ago my dad gave me multiple books that he said I should read going into college to prepare me for when I have a job and work for a company and this was one of them。 It was the first one that I read because I found it the most interesting。 tThe novel gives various ways for someone working within a company to rise to the top and become the ceo。 While some of the tips are more conventional such as always arriving early and putting extra effort into one’s job， other tips are more unexpected。 An example of one tip that is more unconventional for how to rise to the top of a company would be to “never let a good boss make a mistake。” Something I was unaware of before reading the novel is that how your boss performs has a direct impact on you。 Additionally， if your boss is promoted， that gives you a better chance of getting a promotion by taking their spot。 tOverall， the book provided numerous helpful tips for someone who wants to become ceo of their company or prepare for doing so in the future。 My favorite tip that the book provided was to create and keep a “people file。” I love how the book encourages people to create a “people file，” because it allows someone to automatically be able to remember everyone’s names and have facts written down about each person they come in contact with。 Therefore， they will be better prepared for becoming ceo due to there knowledge of their surroundings。 tI personally enjoyed this book very much。 It was easy to follow and read and gave awesome tips！ I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is vying for a ceo position or students who want to prepare for a future job。 It is extremely helpful as it gives many different tips in how one can ultimately become the ceo of a company， some that you might expect， and others you would never guess。 A similar book to this one would be “The Millionaire Next Door” by Thomas J。 Stanley and William D。 Danko。 。。。more

It was a simpe read， a short simple written book， one can easily read it in 3 to 4 hours。 Although I was not agree with some of its points ， the reason may be was that it is an old book but I would recommend it for reading

Most of these are goofy， but a few are pure gold。

Awesome little book full of tips to become a great leader。 I feel like the principles apply to work as well as to life。 This is a book I can flip open on any day of the week and get a nice reminder of something I can work on。 Chapters are 1-2 pages long so it makes for a easy stop-and-go read。 Worth the time it takes to read。

Mostly outdated。 I feel like most of this advice isn't directly relevant to modern knowledge-based industries， being oriented more to the "company-man" persona。 A few chapters were interesting and useful， but that's about it。 Mostly outdated。 I feel like most of this advice isn't directly relevant to modern knowledge-based industries， being oriented more to the "company-man" persona。 A few chapters were interesting and useful， but that's about it。 。。。more

Tips were provided in 1-2 pages。 I recommend keeping for continued reference。 My greatest takeaway was devoting an extra hour daily to personal/career development。 This is a great gift for mentees/proteges。

This is a simple and super quick read with tips that are easily actionable。 Read this book on a 2。5 hours flight。 Definitely a one time read， but I feel like it was worth my time。。。

Picked up in the Boston airport book exchange。 I think the book gives an aspiring executive conversation fodder—what is the amount of sensible social time to spend with your company？ What does it mean to dress well at a modern tech company？ Why do we dislike empire builders in theory， but we all think they are our path to promotion and growth？It’s easy to down play the Hudson News sales books， but if you really are trying to grow， any opportunity to reflect is a good one！

I listened to it as an audio book。 It should be called "complete checklist for becoming CEO" - just tells you do this， don't do that。 Half is common wisdom from other self-help books， the other half is like "Work harder than others" and "Always keep your shoes polished"。 Well， I've worked with several VP's and one CEO， and what keeps those people apart from the crowd is definitely not captured in this book。 I listened to it as an audio book。 It should be called "complete checklist for becoming CEO" - just tells you do this， don't do that。 Half is common wisdom from other self-help books， the other half is like "Work harder than others" and "Always keep your shoes polished"。 Well， I've worked with several VP's and one CEO， and what keeps those people apart from the crowd is definitely not captured in this book。 。。。more

The book points out very logical steps to fallow。 Some of them which I already know and some which I just realized my managers and CEO is fallowing。

This book was good， not great but since it’s publish date is roughly 20 years ago you have to expect many outdated principles。 It’s anti-relationships which is a 180 from how we know to work together today。There are plenty of good， always timely nuggets that make this book worth a quick read。

Insightful quick read book。 Fast chapters on the keys to being successful within corporate organizations- whether or not you have the desire to become CEO。

Hardly an hour read。 It is a good reference book but some of the advice needs to be taken with a pinch of salt。

Just completed How to become CEO and I’ve enjoyed reading it。 It’s a small book and I completed it in a few hours but it has some good and practical points that you can apply to any area of your life。 However I’d say it doesn’t go into detail about how to actually develop your career through professional development and become a CEO。 Instead it is mainly about personal development which of course is helpful for all areas of your life。

Very concise and straight forward suggestions for improving your productivity in the work place and strengthening your career prospects。 At times perhaps too concise as further examples to support Fox's views would have been appreciated but this might have resulted in the 'clean and clear' messages being lost。 Overall I would recommend as a quick and easy read from a tried and tested book。 Chances are even if you only take one or two suggestions away from it you will find it a worthwhile investm Very concise and straight forward suggestions for improving your productivity in the work place and strengthening your career prospects。 At times perhaps too concise as further examples to support Fox's views would have been appreciated but this might have resulted in the 'clean and clear' messages being lost。 Overall I would recommend as a quick and easy read from a tried and tested book。 Chances are even if you only take one or two suggestions away from it you will find it a worthwhile investment。 。。。more

Golden nuggets for the ambitious professional。 Each rule includes succinct explanations and actionable items you can immediately implement in your career。

I had assumed this was going to be more humorous and light hearted when I saw it in the ex-library book bin for fifty cents and was going to give to a colleague， but I read it first。It is 75 tips on becoming CEO and if you followed them all， you might achieve that success but you would be a miserable old geezer with lots of money and no friends。There is some terrible life advice in these pages， what a load of old nonsense。
