I read this book in about 2 hours, almost in one sitting. The author writes brief conveys his message in brief, concise statements which sends the message across. The book is a collection of attributes that one must have to rise to the top of an organization. It briefly mentions each point and tells you a reason why you have to do so.A couple of key points surprised me, like the "Skip all office parties" rule and the "Eat in your hotel room" one. Take the advice given here with a grain of salt. It's really easy reading, but by no means gives a sufficient explanation why you should really follow each rule. It's a must read for employees, even if you don't plan on becoming CEO.
