THE HARD THING ABOUT HARD THINGS BY BEN HOROWITZ
The Hard Thing About Hard Things by Ben Horowitz
"It goes without saying that leading a company is hard and leading a fast-growing company is even harder. The challenge for me--and for many business leaders--is why does it always seem harder than it should be? This book does a great job of being therapist and consultant--from someone who's been there and done that--to those of us who have asked ourselves this very question. Ben's ability to convey, in an easy-to-read, engaging, and thought-provoking way, his thoughts, fears, and struggles about raising money, rapidly growing, restructuring, and ultimately selling his company makes this a must-read for any CEO who wants to build and run a great business. At the end of the day, success in business comes down to persistence and the willingness to make the hard decisions, day in and day out. To succeed, we must, as Ben suggests, 'embrace the struggle.'"
