Summary
Young, ambitious, and overwhelmed, Andrew O'Brien personifies a part of every leader as he wanders in search of the elusive silver bullet that will propel him to success. He happens upon an unlikely guide who distills the seemingly infinite list of leadership perils into the five temptations of a CEO. In an intense and often combative exchange, the two debate fundamental issues faced by all leaders, issues involving personal integrity and effectiveness in the ongoing struggle for success. While some of these topics have been bandied about in the leadership literature for years, here they actually begin to make sense.
Refreshingly original and utterly compelling, Andrew's story will serve as a timeless and potent reminder that success as a leader can come down to practicing a few simple behaviors, behaviors that are painfully difficult for each of us to master.

Easy to listen. Many great takeaways.
I believe the vast majority of CEO have the best intentions of the business at heart. This book helps clarify areas where you need to adjust.
what did I learn - Your colleagues are just like you, they are all human. They have strengths and weaknesses and honesty amungst you all for the benefit of the business will make you all more successful.

Cannot compare to The Five Dysfunctions of a Team
This book is much shorter and doesn’t have much to teach. It does have a few good reminders but it’s rather thin in content compared to his bestseller.

Trash!
If this book was written for a 10 year old, fine. But if it was written for a an exec to avoid pitfalls in the initial days, it’s pathetic in its approach and content. The author oversimplifies the context and issues and provides no real world advise or direction. Defo 1 star. Waste of your money.
