The Chief Executive Operating System: The Essential Playbook for Success in the CEO Role by Joel Trammell is classified as a business office team and skills type of book. I have read a lot of CEO type of books, and this one did stand out among them all, which I think is something that is difficult to do when there are so many other books writing on the same topic. I love the initial analogy the author gives about the book – “But once you get there, you haven’t summited Mount Everest – you’re only at base camp.” I also appreciate how this book focuses on a community of people to be able to be successful – it does not happen on your own, and you must work with and understand others to be a genuinely successful CEO.
