Book Reviews of Tough Choices: A Memoir
Book Review: Valuable as an insight to the challenges of a CEO, though just one side of the coin
Summary: 5 Stars
On the one hand, I consider this a must-read for those considering a business career, although it needs to be balanced by also reading the viewpoints of those who opposed Carly Fiorina. There is still much in this book of value. One will gain realization of the importance of a wide and diversified education, of self-conficence, of openess to change.The greatet value of the book, however, is the insight one gains into the personality and thinking of the author. The greatest caution is to realize that her perception is not the only possible point of view.Personally, I found Carly Fiona to be a lady to be admired on one level, that of intellect and skill. However, I also got glimpses of a flawed person. I know of no human without flaws (including myself). I am not the least bit sure that I would have desired her as an employer. Certainly, there would have been times that I would have felt uncomfortable as an employee.Therefore, I found this to be an immensely valuable book to read, but not one to be considered as written in stone.As a last comment, those who just do not have the patience and interest to read the book carefully from beginning-to-end may do well to start around the middle, say with chapter 18, in order to get the crux of the material and then skim at will through the earlier portion.
