 I want to give others what I wish I had had when I took on this role 20 years ago. Partially to help you see what you will encounter and how to handle the issues you will face.

Why I wrote this

The book lays out what is involved when you are a CEO, which is radically different from any other management job. It does this in large part by talking through how I navigated the challenges and opportunities growing Windward. And rare in a business book, it is brutally honest about the mistakes I made. Giant mistake after giant mistake – which occurs at every company, but is rarely talked about.

There’s a dearth of information about this job. And there’s no way to prepare yourself for the role of CEO. So new CEOs are thrown to the sharks with no preparation.

I want to give others what I wish I had had when I took on this role 20 years ago. Partially to help you see what you will encounter and how to handle the issues you will face. Equally important, to let you know when you’ve made a number of giant mistakes and the future looks bleak and you aren’t sure you will make it – hey that’s normal.

-- David Thielen
