This book taught me a lot
This book is full of a lot of tips on changing your mindset for the better. It’s all about growing your mindset from entrepreneur to CEO. Byron Morrison says that the mindset required to be a founder, entrepreneur or manager is very different to that of being an effective CEO. As we dive into the book, Byron tells us how to deal with feeling overwhelmed and develop our intuition. Also, one of the most important things about a good CEO is to listen more than you speak. This can help you avoid making decisions that are shortsighted. You want people to be able to express new ideas and opinions rather than being dictated to. He also says to try to avoid telling people what to do because no one likes to be told what to do and even though you may think you know the solution, there is always the possibility that you’re wrong, you’ve missed something, or that there’s a better way to achieve the result.

In his book, CEO in Control: Stop reacting, get out of your own head and master the mental game needed to be highly effective CEO (The Effective CEO), Byron Morrison helps you realize you don’t have to be in that state. You have a chance to change the way your life is heading. With his inspiring words and guidance, he helps you to “get out of your own head,” to stop reacting to the situation and people around you. He talks about strategic thinking and setting goals, quarterly goals. What you focus on has a huge impact on where you want to be. If you are busy trying to do things that can easily be delegated, then you won’t have time to focus on the bigger things. You will be too tired from your day of putting out fires and solving the smaller problems to focus on what you should have been focusing on from the start. And this sets you and your company back.
Being a CEO is no easy task. Others may not understand the challenges and obstacles that tend to get in the way of becoming a great CEO.

With this method he will have you thinking differently, changing how you process problems and overcome challenges. You will be a better you, and an even greater CEO!
One of my favorite quotes from this book is “Focus on what you want, not what you don’t want.” This is true in life, not just work. Excellent advice and true guidance.

If you are a CEO, let Byron Morrison guide and teach you how to deal with pressure logically instead of emotionally – showing you what not to do to avoid a disastrous outcome from short-sighted, emotional, and solitary thinking. Like the author, you will learn to be an advocate of proactive leadership, long-term thinking, thoughtful analysis, strong communications, and adaptability. Substantial knowledge within this book speaks for itself. He makes it sink in that what you don’t do is as significant as what you do, particularly if you are like many CEO’s in over their heads or overwhelmed.
Absorb text that instructs you on how to stay positive, how you choose to respond to what’s going on around you and to not allow feelings to interfere with the thought process – to evolve in planning and thinking abilities to conquer upcoming demands. You will highly benefit from mindset traits laid forth: get out of the passive state and move forward in an active positive mode, focus on what you like, not what you don’t like, and know what you need to do and do it to become a prime mover.

This book helps those who dont feel like they belong in their role, or simply need some insight on how to go about said role. Being a higher up and having control in the workplace can be very intimidating afterall and tbis book makes you feel less scared to take control. Using different thinking abilities can play a huge part in how we handle things at work and the outcomes we offer ourselves as possibilities.

A glorified sales pitch
The sole objective of this book is to solicit (executive coaching) business for the author. It may offer an insight to a junior manager but has nothing of value for an experienced CEO. Almost laughable.
