When Gary Huff's college-age son asked him, "So, Dad, how did you get to be a CEO?" this book was Huff's answer.
As he says about the evolution of this book, "Driving down the country roads of North Carolina in my silver and black Mustang GT fastback is one of my son's and my favorite things to do. During this time, we have wonderful conversations. I don't know what it is, but we both seem to open up during our drives. It is a time when we both feel comfortable talking about anything that is on our minds.
"We talk about his future, what he wants to do in his life, and how he wants to follow my path to be an executive. During these precious hours with my nineteen-year-old, I attempt to impart to him the bits of wisdom and lessons I learned from being a successful executive in the hope that he can navigate through challenges that he is sure to face."
