About this audiobook
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
As you read this summary, you will discover that starting and running a business is not always the source of fulfillment you had hoped for. Many obstacles stand in your way and the daily life of a CEO is littered with difficult decisions. Ben Horowitz has experienced this and presents in this book, the means he used to face them.
You will also discover :
- that the most difficult problems encountered by a CEO do not have a perfect solution;
- that being a CEO requires a lot of courage and perseverance;
- that all problems grow and multiply as you succeed and your company grows.
In this book, Ben Horowitz discusses the difficulties you encounter when starting a business. Setting and achieving ambitious goals is nothing compared to having to fire your team if you fail. Hiring and finding talent is much less difficult than having to manage them when their behavior becomes intolerable. There is no miracle recipe: you have to learn how to become a manager and a CEO, and that learning is difficult.
