Summary: Fox gives the extra boost up the ladder we can all use!
Review: I first saw this book when I was working in a library, and the title caught my eye. Being a college student, with dreams to be a successful business woman, I knew it was something I should read. I think Fox made some wonderful common sense points, some of which are obvious and some are not. He elaborates on them, but he's short and too the point, and uses great examples and quotes. He has fantastic ideas, and I am confident I will read this book again. I work in a very corporate environment now, and can see his "tips" as ideas which, if I incorporate them into my career now, will be key to meeting my ultimate goals. I constantly think of things he said in this book, which would be useful at a team meeting or quotes to remember while I am on the phone at my desk. It is a great book, which I recommend to anyone who wants to succeed in their company, even if they don't wish to become CEO. If Fox is ever in town, I would love to talk about my future goals and how to incorporate his tips into my plan.

Summary: Commonsense Advice For Any Cubicle Dweller
Review: I read this book while sat in the Stanford University bookshop. It's easy to digest and provides lots of sensible advice. This book isn't just for budding CEOs. It provides advice that applies to anyone who wants to succeed in any organization. By the way, having read the book I decided to buy it before I left the store. I'm reading it again now.

Summary: Points worth keeping in mind...
Review: Fox provides refreshing advice that everyone should keep in mind. Althought the points aren't really specific to being a CEO, they're tidbits of good advice on the most important adventure of all, Life. A book that's not only worth the money, but definitely worth the time.

Summary: obvious bullet points fill out the book, not worth the money
Review: This so-called 'CEO' advice from a slick 'marketeer' should be titled:'how to trick the buyer by the cover'. Apart from the other bad review examples, the author recommeds while away on business, staying in a hotel room alone to eat and have a bottle of wine...maybe original, not CEO bound advice.

Summary: Simple is the best
Review: Coming from an Asian culture, I found this book's approach similar to Zen. No details, but simple, clear, and deep suggestions are found in this book. How to interpret these ideas is up to the reader. If some ideas are not for you, still you can learn a lot of other basic, universal ideas that are crucial to you as a leader. This book is definitely not for those who want step-by-step instructions but for those who are wise enough to get an essence.

Summary: Some Good Trivial Advice in a Skinny Book
Review: To become a CEO, I think you'll need more than what is in this book. There are some interesting tidbits here and there, but a CEO will not emerge once this book is read.Has Mr. Fox ever traveled on business? Some of his advice (don't have a drink with coworkers, work instead in your hotel room, order room service, etc.) could be a slap in the face to the salespeople/customers/coworkers who are hosting your trip. After reading this book, it would seem anyone could make up a few lists and publish a book about anything, and not really have to be a writer. There are some interesting parts of this small book, and I would still recommend reading it and reading it periodically again and again to get the most out of it, but wait for the paperback version.

Summary: Educational in climbing into the role of a Corp. CEO.
Review: These are important trueisms in decision making processes as you climb your way up the corporate ladder. This book is easy to read and many of the chapters really make you turn your focus to its validity. After your first read through I guarantee you will read it again. I would like to thank Mr. Fox for the educational lesson.

Summary: Simple and Easy to Read but Not enough "Depth"
Review: Its a good book, it is simple and easy to read(almost point form). It gives you a general idea on how to plan your career but it doesn't have enough "depth", For the price, for the "hard cover", I expect more "details" from this book.

Summary: Not worth the money
Review: There were some interesting tips in the book, but nothing you haven't heard before. Advice on how to disable a rival with one statement was lame. Save your money.
