Make the Noise Go Away: The Power of an Effective Second-in-command

Owning a business is a dream come true. However, that business can become so "noisy" with all of its issues that the business can actually end up owning you. In Make the Noise Go Away, author Larry G. Linne discusses thirteen principles that can help business owners reclaim their freedom. Written in parable style, Make the Noise Go Away follows business owner Jim Clancy and second-in-command Brett Giles at Golden Electric Supply. During a weekend retreat at a quiet mountain cabin, the two executives discuss the principles and strategies that made Jim's noise-all the worries and concerns about his business-go away and allowed Brett's job to be more enjoyable and successful. They talk about important skills such as maintaining upward communication, setting priorities, practicing effective problem solving, and introducing new ideas. Targeted to both first- and second-in-commands, Make the Noise Go Away provides insights on decision-making skills, methods to protect and nurture great CEO ideas, and strategies for managing the perception of the business by important third parties. With concrete takeaways and tools for implementation, this guide helps clear the way for productivity and success for today's business executives.
