Book summaries
There are so many good books in the world. Unfortunately entrepreneurs are very busy running their businesses to read them. This is why I decided to publish book summaries that I read. I hope they will help you save time and learn something important. Good luck with your startup!
The Sheikh CEO
Every time I travel to Dubai, I’m amazed with the futuristic projects and exceptional services. At some point I got curious how the country could achieve that. This time I was advised to read the book The Sheikh CEO. It’s actually not about the history of Dubai and the best practices of Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum. This is a book about management, leadership, and vision. I believe any entrepreneur will get insights and ideas regardless of the size of the team under management. Here is a short summary below, but I encourage you to read the whole book. By the way if you dream about space exploration and Mars colonization you will find inspiring ideas in the book as well. I hope you’ll find it useful!
Start-Up Nation
I visited Israel many times and talked to numerous local startups, VCs, accelerators, and ecosystem builders. The local ecosystem gave birth to public companies, unicorns, and ample M&A. They even have a local Aerospace sector with a lunar program and their own spaceport! I was amazed how a tiny country with less than 10 mln population, limited in resources and surrounded by enemies could achieve that? To better understand the context I was advised to read the book Start-Up Nation. I did a short summary below. I hope you will find it useful.
