I didn't love it. His stories were mainly about pulling rabbits out of hats rather than creating long-term value.

I didn't love it. His stories were mainly about pulling rabbits out of hats rather than creating long-term value.

He mentions near the end of the book that he's a "wartime" CEO, so most of the lessons on the book relate to the difficult times that he had to go through.

Now that he is a venture capitalist, perhaps he will come out with a new book that deals with "peacetime" CEO issues
