ALONG
FOR
THE
RIDE:
RIDE-ALONGS
Good at
picking
winning horses?
Think being boss is tough?
Your
destiny could be to ride along.
orne big-buck cravers don't want the buck to stop with them.
Ride-alongs rise high, play critical roles, are well-respected
leaders, and get
rich-but
never bear a CEO's ultimate
pressure. Ride-alongs don't point the way.
They
find the right
horse, hitch their wagon to it, and help the horse .
Though
they
may never wear a CEO's crown, some famous ride-alongs ride high
on the
Forbes
400-Buffett's
sidekick, Charlie Munger, for one,
with $2 billion.

This
is no cakewalk! It's devilish divining whether the
CEO
you
follow is leading you to new heights or off a cliff. Real ride-alongs
aren't lemmings or stooping yes-men (though bad ones can be). No!
