Summary: You can do better
Review: I bought this book in a rush to have something to read on the plane. I am CEO of my company so I think I might have some insight into what it takes. While some of the points were right on (like doing work on a plane or not having a drink with the gang), some of the points were silly and wouldn't project well on a would-be CEO. For example, take any job that is handed down by the boss. Well maybe, but Fox says to take ANY job even of it's watering the plants. Perhaps a better rule should be to find someone to water the plants, not to actually water them yourself as Mr. Fox suggests. All in all the book was too short and too expensive.

Summary: There are only 75 steps to (corporate) heaven!
Review: A little gem of a book. Very easy to read and full of interesting ideas. Unfortunately a bit American-centric and I am not sure about the reading list. Also this is based on past research. With all the changes happening as a result of the internet, are all these 75 'solutions' future proofed? Anyway the thoughts that grabbed me include: In business, money is the scoreboard. The more you make, the better you are doing. Jobs that do not get and keep customers are redundant. Your responsibility is to acquire that experience needed at the top of your industry. There are no barriers between anyone in the company and the customer. To know your customer is to know your future. Do something few others are willing to do. Make one good ally in your company every month. To run the company, you must be invited in. Elephants grow larger on the hormones of panic and deception. Creativity without implementation is irresponsibility. Demonstrate your ability to grow by adding one big new thing to your life every year. Practice being presidential all the time. Overinvest in people. Cynicism about one's own company is the hallmark of a loser. Success in projects is anticlimactic. Homework preordains it. "Nothing gives one person so much advantage over another as to remain cool and unruffled under all circumstances." (Jefferson.) If you have ten seconds to make a decision, think for nine. Think for three hours, write for one. It does not matter who thought of the idea. What matters is who implemented it. Teach without preaching. Tight budgets promote creativity. Mistakes are milestones. They indicate action in new areas. Mistakes are the exhaust of active people. Your family must be an ally in your future plans. Goals beget goals. A spouse is either an important ally for a company or a virulent enemy. It is the manager that does more with less that is most needed by the company. Monthly reports are stupid. Idea killers help you work harder.

Summary: More business books and software should be this good!
Review: I found this book to be very good! It is quick and easy to read. I finished it on one plane trip. It is motivating and presents its ideas in 75 tips. I passed it along as a "must read" to peers in an executive roundtable group. All 75 tips are great, I have my own top six favorites including: 1. Do not get discouraged by the idea killers. 2. Never panic or lose your temper. 3. Always take a vacation. 4. Do something hard and lonely. 5. Think for 1 hour a day. 6. Try something new; like Neurosync behavior modification software. The author's validity in compiling this list added to my satisfaction of the book.

Summary: A very good book for all
Review: During Ramadan holiday in my country, I had time to read my amazon books. This book was an extraordinary book. I read three times. I am not sure that I shall be a CEO in the short run, but I belive that I learnt a lot, what-to-do and what-not-to-do in the office environment. These are real recommendations everyone should follow in order to be more influential and relatively risk-free to survive. Offices are all same whether they are in the North America where this book was created or in my office in Ankara. Survival recommendations are applicable to all. The author, Mr.Fox, brought together his life-long experiences in a very easy to-read and enjoyable book. Thank you very much Mr.Fox for all your recommendations and contributions to your readers for their future careers.

Summary: Food for thought, But will you eat?
Review: Like so many "One Min. Manager " books out lately, This one has a lot of short chapters. It also has the ring of truth in each one of them. If you read this book, the Road to success is very easy to follow, All you have to have is the discipline to follow that road.
