Any book with a theme that accentuates the ebbs and flows of a debt collection company would never find its way to my “must read” list, but this book is far more than a corporate fairy tale. Buried within stories of debt collection economics and executive power dynamics are pieces of wisdom I’ve yet to uncover from the celebrity executives or snake oil salesmen professional growth consultants, and if nothing else this book made a lasting impact on my own career perspective in real time.
The honest reflection Brandon articulates about his experience grappling with his role as the CEO of a public company and the internal expectations that come with a position of that stature, are beautifully countered by Shayne’s poignant analysis of that reflection, making this part-biography / part-personal growth guide a solid addition to your own reading list.
