Why Read This Book
The realest book on CEO-level decision making. Horowitz doesn't sugarcoat the brutal realities of leading through crisis: laying people off, firing executives, demoting friends, selling your company. His frameworks for dealing with the struggle are hard-earned wisdom from nearly losing it all. Essential for founders and leaders who need to make decisions when there are no good options, only less bad ones. The Struggle chapter alone is worth the price.
