With this method he will have you thinking differently, changing how you process problems and overcome challenges. You will be a better you, and an even greater CEO!One of my favorite quotes from this book is “Focus on what you want, not what you don’t want.” This is true in life, not just work. Excellent advice and true guidance.

This book is full of a lot of tips on changing your mindset for the better. It’s all about growing your mindset from entrepreneur to CEO. Byron Morrison says that the mindset required to be a founder, entrepreneur or manager is very different to that of being an effective CEO. As we dive into the book, Byron tells us how to deal with feeling overwhelmed and develop our intuition. Also, one of the most important things about a good CEO is to listen more than you speak. This can help you avoid making decisions that are shortsighted. You want people to be able to express new ideas and opinions rather than being dictated to. He also says to try to avoid telling people what to do because no one likes to be told what to do and even though you may think you know the solution, there is always the possibility that you’re wrong, you’ve missed something, or that there’s a better way to achieve the result.

This book taught me how to truly focus on myself and to invest your time in valuable tasks that drives the organization further without having a useless laundry list of things to do.

I hate it when I buy a book and discover it’s basically a ‘taster menu’ for something else the author is selling. This book is not even subtle about it. Material is cogent. Short read which a CEO needs. Pointers to exercises.So… overall, there’s useful material if you haven’t done prior coaching work.

Byron's Book CEO in Control is an easy to read and understandable playbook to thrive in the world of Executive Leadership. His book has allowed me to take back control of my days and weeks. Since reading his book I have also signed up for Byron's Executive Coaching Program Evolved and would recommend to any executive or business leader.Truly Game Changing and very glad that I came across this book and look forward to continuing to work with Byron as I improve with my own growth and leadership.

CEO in Control cuts to the heart of what it takes to be an effective leader. The challenges that Morrison describes are ubiquitous in the daily lives of executive leaders. There is nothing complicated or newfangled about his methods. They are practical and will stand the test it time. I found his book compelling enough to sign up for his 90-day Evolved Program. I highly recommend this book for all executives, not only CEO’s.

Enjoyed the book so much I bought a copy for my son.

I don't normally leave reviews but today I have to.This book is as basic as eating a McDonald's meal while watching McDonald's commercials. 100 pages which with proper printing must be 35.Sad and a waste of money. Straight to the garbage.

Me ha encantado el libro porque se centra en la parte de control emocional de las labores del CEO. Tengo una pequeña agencia de marketing donde con 10 personas y la realidad es que a veces uno se siente sobrepasado y abrumado. En esos momentos, es más importante tomar el control emocional que cargarse con más tareas. Y este libro es idóneo para esto. Te enseña técnicas prácticas de cómo gestionar tus emociones y sentimientos. Lo que te hace sentir más relajada y tomar control de tus acciones. Pasar de la reactividad a la proactividad.

I read many great books, but this one has been a real eye opener. I am a CEO, currently trying to move from the reactive/overwhelmed status to the "in control" status.It's a process and it requires time, but this book gave me the realisation that I am not alone in what I feel.When you look around you, all the other CEOs seem like having a good and easy time (even a fun time!) managing their business.So you feel like there's something wrong with you. But the reality is that we are not alone and probably all CEOs, at some point, went through that process of having to completely reshape their whole perspective of their role in their business, if they wanted to survive and keep (or going back to) loving their business.This book explained perfectly how I feel, why I feel so, and what I can do to work on those - sometimes overwhelming - feelings.By reading the book you can certainly say that the precision of the description comes from someone that went through that before you, so then you think: "if he overcame that hell, so can I. Let me just find out how.:) "I have just bought the new book from the same author and can't wait to dive into that reading too!Thank you Byron Morrison!

CEO is control offers very simple, but hugely effective suggestions on how to be the best leader. super easy to follow, understand and highly effective. a must read for everyone in a leading position.
