Figuring It Out: A Memoir about Connolly, Inc's Journey to the Top by Libby Connolly Alexander
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is a memoir about Elizabeth Connolly Alexander, the CEO of Connolly Healthcare and later of the entire organization. Together with her husband and brother, the three set out to take their fathers company and turn it into a veritable powerhouse in the healthcare industry. All three were whip smart and so turning the business around into a new direction came easy to them and under their guidance they were able to attract great partnerships such as with advent, that would further benefit the company.
This was a very interesting book. I like memoirs about people I have never heard of as it can always teach me about new things and this book was no different. While much of the book was spent on the thought process behind some of the decisions and how they went about this venture, there was much time spent on Libby herself as well as her husband and her brother. I like that failures and missteps were also included as it shows that no one is perfect, not even those on top of the world.
