About this listen

Whether you’re a new CEO trying to navigate chaotic workdays or a veteran of the C-Suite trying to reignite your passion, focus is your most important asset. Many owners and CEOs think they have to be involved in every aspect of their business. They spend valuable brainpower on low-priority decisions. Before long, they’re overworked and burned out.

Instead of doing everything, it’s time to focus on the right things.

A CEO Only Does Three Things zeroes in on the three pillars of business: culture, people, and numbers. Steeped in 20-plus years of practical knowledge, training, and consulting with some of the world’s largest companies, this indispensable guide shows how to articulate the right culture for your business, hire people with the right mindsets, and inspire your teams to produce optimal results.

Hundreds of CEOs have used Taylor’s methods to create fulfilled, efficient, professional lives, and you can join them. Learn how to focus on the work you love - and avoid CEO burnout.

Some good ideas and worth the read.

There are some good tips on culture, interviews, reviewing your team, etc. Nothing that blew my mind but a few items that I found different and beneficial from other books.

This is well worth the read!

In a very short book, Trey Taylor succinctly lines out the BIG ROCKS for a CEO. It will be a "re-read" resource for me in my business.

Great Real-World Advice

This book does a great job of describing the traits of being a CEO and the issues faced by both small and large organizations. It never felt like I was listening a purely academic lesson, but rather real-world scenarios that every leader will face at some point. Highly recommended.

Back to the basics

I enjoyed how the author breaks down the three pillars in a way that’s very understandable for someone looking for cues of how to function in this role

Way more than that title

Someone suggested this book to me and I dismissed the deep value until after reading it. Throughout I gained many nuggets and it was far from boring.
