Summary of Matt Mochary, Alex MacCaw & Misha Talavera's The Great CEO Within
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Starting a company is hard, and solo founders have high rates of burnout. If you are able to do it with a partner, do so. However, if you have the skills needed to start a company, and are a masochist, then by all means begin on your own. #2 The more team members you have, the harder it is to share what is going on with everyone, and have everyone be emotionally bought in to the decisions being made. Do not underestimate this cost. It is much larger than most founders think. #3 The first goal of the company should be to achieve real Product-Market Fit, not metrics that fool people inside and outside the company that Product-Market Fit has been achieved. For B2B companies, it is difficult to imagine achieving PMF below $1 million in annual revenue. #4 Once you have achieved Product-Market Fit, it is time to blitz scale and win the race to market share. To do this, you will need to create massive awareness, walk many customers through the sales process, hold those customers hands as they set up and use your product or service, and all non-technical operations.
The Manager's Handbook
This handbook is the practical guide to becoming a great manager. It covers all the major topics including hiring, coaching, feedback, one-on-ones, and decision making. It also covers some of softer, but equally important, topics like conflict resolution and mental health. Great management changes lives. In fact, it's one of the most single overlooked pieces of leverage in the world. Great managers are remembered like great teachers, inspirations who help others soar. That's why it's such a shame management training is so often overlooked. Successful individual-contributors are rewarded with a 'promotion' into management and then, more often than not, left to sink or swim. If you're a new manager, this book will shine a friendly light on the road ahead. And if you're an old dog, perhaps it'll teach you a trick or two. This handbook was written by Alex MacCaw and stress-tested at a company called Clearbit.

From the former news policy lead at Google, an “informative and often harrowing wake-up call” (Publishers Weekly) that explains the high-stakes global cyberwar brewing between Western democracies and the authoritarian regimes of China and Russia that could potentially crush democracy. From 2016 to 2020, Jacob Helberg led Google’s global internal product policy efforts to combat disinformation and foreign interference. During this time, he found himself in the midst of what can only be described as a quickly escalating two-front technology cold war between democracy and autocracy.
