EntreLeadership
by Dave Ramsey
Ramsey on how he built his company: hiring slowly with multiple interviews and a spouse dinner, no debt, open-book culture, weekly staff meetings, compensation and delegation. It is practical small-business leadership with his personality throughout, and the hiring chapters are the strongest.
Read it if…
you run a small business and want hands-on operating practices from someone who built one.
Skip it if…
you lead in a corporate environment; some practices will not transfer.
Three things you will actually use
- Hire slowly; the cost of a bad hire is enormous.
- Run the business without debt; it changes every decision.
- Lead with clear expectations and consistent meetings.
Do this first
Add a second interview and a spouse dinner to your next key hire.
Our verdict
Hands-on small-business leadership.
