Would you rather stay deeply embedded in research or step fully into the CEO role?


That's the question we recently discussed with Jacob Hooker, CEO at Sensorium Therapeutics.


Jacob shares why he left academia and stepped into the CEO seat: impact. As a Harvard professor and researcher at Mass General, he worked on meaningful science. But leading Sensorium Therapeutics gets him closer to the patients whose lives the work could change.


And changing lives is a powerful lesson for CEOs thinking about writing a book. Your book should go beyond merely documenting what you know. It should show why your work matters, who it helps, and why you are willing to leave the comfort zone, even when that comfort zone includes Harvard, which is not exactly a shabby waiting room. The strongest CEO books are less about credentials and more about conviction.
