- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Re-read it in a day -- always good to get a refresher on what Jack says is key -- keeping it simple, plagiarizing proudly, being consistent, and relentless persistence. It is worth noting that the same CEO characteristics he discusses are not extensible to every level, although every leadership element probably is. Specifically, certain people do have to be experts and focus in one area. However, even they need to think about the end result, look ahead, and promote boundarylessness.
