George RobbinsIn A CEO Only Does Three Things, Trey Taylor reminds us that nothing in business is more powerful than a focused CEO. This remarkable new book introduces us to Taylor's philosophy of liberation for CEOs around the world shackled to the job of performing tasks that their teams are paid to do. His radical suggestion that a CEO should do the things that only he or she can do and leave the rest to others will strike some as too-good-to-be-true. Those of us who have applied his methodology know just how right he is, though. This book should be on every CEO's desktop and nightstand

Eric SilvermanBy my count, you'd have to read hundreds of books, attend hours of lectures, and engage in limitless conversations to get all the information that my rock star friend, Trey Taylor, so effortlessly distills into A CEO Only Does Three Things. It's like a life hack handbook for CEOs to find more time in their day, lead their teams to great results, and make a meaningful impact on the business world

Tom PurcellTrey's ideas in A CEO Only Does Three Things are creative, unique, and transformative. There isn't a platitude in the whole book. It's filled with dynamic business ideas that are simple but profound. I don't know a single executive who wouldn't benefit from being reminded of the core job. This useful book reveals and reminds us of the fundamental laws of management and leadership that lead to success
