How to Be a CEO Without Actually Knowing Anything

By Carlos Abad

Have you ever ended up in charge of something big and thought, "I have no idea what I'm doing"? That's exactly how this book starts--and pretty much how it continues. How to Be a CEO Without Actually Knowing Anything is the funny, honest story of someone who somehow became the boss and had to figure it all out along the way. Instead of offering polished advice or business school theories, this book shares what it's really like to lead a company when you're just trying to survive the next meeting without looking confused. You'll read about learning to fake confidence, using fancy words without knowing what they mean, and pretending to understand financial spreadsheets while Googling terms under the table. It's not a guide full of rules and checklists. It's more like a behind-the-scenes peek at how someone who had no clue learned how to wing it--with a lot of laughs, mistakes, and just enough luck to pull it off. It's about dealing with office crises, managing people smarter than you, and slowly turning panic into something that almost looks like leadership. If you've ever felt like you were making it up as you go (especially at work), this book will feel like home. And who knows--you might even pick up a few useful tricks along the way.
