Not the right series if
You want a list of famous-CEO traits to copy. The book says plainly it is not that.
Look inside Book 1
A taste of Leadership Mindset
Most books about leadership start with a list of things leaders should do. This one starts somewhere else, because doing the right thing is rarely the actual problem. Most people who fail as leaders are not lazy, uninformed, or unwilling to work hard. They are, in a very specific and fixable sense, thinking poorly about the situation in front of them.
That claim probably sounds strange at first. It is worth sitting with anyway. This book is not a collection of leadership tips, and it will not ask you to memorize a list of traits that famous executives supposedly share. Instead, it will ask you to look closely at something you already do every day without noticing: the thinking that happens before you act.
