Book Description

April 5, 2005
You're the boss....

Now make an executive decision.

You are the CEO of Fleece Industries. So far, you've made all the right choices. The result: Your life's work -- building a company from an idea scrawled on a bar napkin into a clothing empire -- has reached a major milestone. Fleece is going to have an initial public offering and become a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange. The instant the opening bell rings, you'll be worth tens, if not hundreds, of millions. It's a dream come true. Unfortunately that's when things get complicated. Now come the really hard choices.

What would you do if

  • You discovered that a rogue employee had been cooking the books?

  • Your mistress threatened to expose your affair to your wife?

  • You found yourself at the center of an insider-trading scandal?

  • Your daughter turned up in a sex tape on the Internet?

  • You found yourself considering the worst choice of all: MURDER?

Step up to the plate. What would you do if you were The CEO?

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun! Yet, intelligent, July 9, 2005
This review is from: The CEO: An Interactive Book (Paperback)
I miss my choose your adventures from days of old- now I can experience it again as an adult and feel somewhat intelligent at the same time. The guy who gave it one star stands out as a jealous and unhappy person who obviously knows the guy and wishes he had the talent. Sorry bud- it is a funny book!

4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining way to illustrate the implications of actions, May 11, 2005

This review is from: The CEO: An Interactive Book (Paperback)
This book made an otherwise boring and long flight fun. The humor is witty. Not only is it entertaining but it gives you a perspective on some of the pressures and tough decisions that executives may have to face. Also, it illustrates the consequences of the decisions after you make them.

CEO is an awesome read! It's fun, never boring and sooooo creative. Owen Burke is an amazing comedian and now he's proven himself to be an outstanding author. I was extremely pleased with this book and I would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys laughing and appreciates creativity.
