Editorial Reviews

Review

Both business libraries and general-interest collections will find it a funny, compelling title. -- California Bookwatch, June 2007

If you're looking for help on losing the CEO Dad-itude before you lose your family, then pick up a copy of "CEO Dad" and carefully read between the lines. There really is a lesson here. -- Finance and Commerce, August 22, 2007

That realistic accounting is good for everyone, not just execs. We all need people who help "keep it real." -- The Kansis City Star, May 6, 2007


Product Description

When it comes to not taking work too seriously, Tom Stern is all business. Here he delivers a humorous book packed with dozens of spot-on cartoons that take a lighthearted yet realistic look at the conflicts between business executives and the people they love. With razor-sharp insight and sardonic humor, entrepreneur and comedy writer Stern offers life-transforming lessons for CEO Dads and Moms everywhere who are ready to change their "I think, therefore I'm right" stance--the cornerstone of the CEO Dad-itude that leaves a toxic legacy for co-workers, employees, friends, and family alike. Like his father before him, Tom Stern became a CEO Dad and nearly drove himself over the edge--until his family fired him. Inspired by his own journey, Stern tells a harrowing story of alienating employees and potential clients, treating is children like business protégés and ultimately, being humiliated by his family on reality TV. The road to recovery is fraught with bumps, ego-bruising messes, and a demanding 10 1/2-step program as this cautionary tale chronicles the ups and downs of one CEO who learned the hard way how to laugh his way to work-life sanity.

5.0 out of 5 stars A funny, compelling title., June 17, 2007
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
CEO DAD: HOW TO AVOID GETTING FIRED BY YOUR FAMILY uses a funny, cautionary tale to tell of one CEO's struggle to break free of the corporate world. It comes from a businessman and humorist who recounts a harried life alienating employees and potential clients and even his own family before turning his life around and includes dozens of fun cartoons which take a poke at modern business executives and their fast-paced, often skewed worlds. Both business libraries and general-interest collections will find it a funny, compelling title.
