If you are starting a business, running a business, or even writing an essay in business school and need an A, this book and audiobook should always be by your side. While structured by number and phases of tenure, its deceptively complex and deep. It moves forward clearly and decisively, ultimately like David's leadership at Meetup. I've discovered actual new value and insight in this book- not just cleverly re-packaged aphorisms like with most business books.

By delving into his successes and failures, he affords you expensive lessons you do not have to learn the hard way. You live forward in uncertain and trying times, but only learn from the past. Let this book be your guide through unknown and precarious waters.

Most importantly, this book is from the perspective of a CEO coming into a startup in which the Founder separated from his own company. On average, a Founding CEO has just 18 months from major funding before being voted out of the company he started. This applies to every single startup, especially in tech.

If you are starting your company or just formed a Board of Directors after receiving investment money, you have 18 months (on average) to read this book and implement all the things David did. If you want to keep your startup, you will need to transform it to become what your replacement would end up making it.

Furthermore, if you have invested in a startup and want to see it and the Founder succeed and mature, this is not just a great book to give the Founder. It's THE book to give the Founder. And its also a benchmark to judge how the startup is growing, before the numbers show up on the income statement. To actually see the business as it breathes and changes, or doesn't change and dies slowly- because they didn't read Decide and Conquer!
