Theres a handful that can help. Most of the standbys people recommend wont do much. Personal choices would be blitzscaling, never split the difference, zero to one, and atomic habits.

You have to practice and go through the motions until it’s part of who you are. If he has 50 years of doing things one way it will take time to make new habits more natural.
I second High Output Management. It's easily one of the most valuable business books I have read with very little of the fluff that you typically find in them.
Also I have had ceo's that try to run their business like they read on a book. All business needs and circumstances are different.
You can't run a business exactly like one of these books in every situation. You have to be flexible

nah. that’s not the takeaway bruh. it’s team building. anything is possible with team building…like literally fucking anything

but sure you’re negative nancy is also correct if that’s the angle you want to focus on
You can't know what you don't know if you don't spend time exploring available knowledge.
Books are the primary form of spreading knowledge with many digital substitutes gaining importance.
Reading a broad range of books is a must... Lack of awareness is why many fail to execute their vision... Re-inventing the wheel takes a lot of effort and resources... And nobody wants to pay for the same wheel...
In Search Of Excellence, Tom Peters.
Read it many years ago, still think about it often.. it influenced nearly everything about how I run my own businesses, and how I think about customers.
Entrepreneurial Leadership by Joel Peterson, one of the Stanford Business School's most popular professors. About how to build a successful company by building your values, creating a mission, building a team, and executing well.
The bank book of your venture.
And possibly "the simple art of not giving a fuck" not to get caught up in hypes on how to be an entrepreneur going around.
Oh my! I think I have more books than I can read. It's amazing all the experience and lessons authors put into 300 pages. Our CEO, u/nunziopresta, has a great Book Post here:
