Review:I just read this book, and it changed my world views on a lot of stuff. As an example, he talks about CONTROLLING your space, and he gives an example of someone who wants a better career. She brings home stuff to read, and it never gets looked at. Why? Because she designed her space to be a HUGE entertainment center. 65" Monitor, sound systems, subscriptions to NETFLIX and HBO right there in the main living space. He explains that all this entertainment is there by DEFAULT, she could not avoid i... Read more

Review:I bought this book for a college class. As possible, definitely shop Amazon books to gain the best value. Campus bookstores can be expensive! I received this book promptly and it was in great condition (as listed). The subject matter was excellent! The content provides research outcomes, scenarios, and recommendations for tackling difficult conversations on most any level (personal & business). I approve the book & the seller. Read more

Review:Jim Collins is at it again. Collins, along with co-author Morten Hansen and a team of over 20 researchers, spent roughly nine years trying to determine why some companies thrive during chaotic, uncertain and unstable times while other companies do not. If you have read some of Collins' earlier books, the theme in "Great by Choice" certainly won't surprise you. In "Built to Last," published in 1994, Collins, co-author Jerry Porras and their research team wrote about what makes for a "visionary... Read more

Review:I find it Excellent Content, as a Trainer myself of Situational Leadership. I have attended many other Leadership Development courses in the past which were full of nice but hollow phrases such as "Your staff are your most valuable asset" etc. Very often people are promoted into Leadership roles based on their own good functional performance, but are unprepared for taking charge of other people and their performance. This book's content - when fully understood, is an excellent "Toolkit" for hand... Read more

Review:Malhorta works a bit of magic in this book by looking at the WWMC lessons through the lenses of self-reliance, innovation and perseverance. His message is an uplifting one -- stop letting others define your life and stop living within the artificial boundaries set by others for you. Where WWMC was a pean to accepting the change around you, IMYC suggests that we have the (admittedly risky) option to simply create our own maze or ignore altogether that mazes even exist. It's a miniature manifes... Read more

Review:This is a good book to read if you are considering making changes within an organization. The steps for successful, sustained change are good food for thought. It's already made me aware of things I've done well and not so well in change efforts. Read more

Review:If I told you that a book about squirrel spirits, beaver best practices and gifts that geese give could transform your company and according to Tom Peters, "...revolutionize any organization which adopts it, and those that don't won't survive.", what would you tell me? After the success of "Raving Fans" Mr. Blanchard and Mr. Bowles returned to their pithy, aphorism-filled well to deliver their readers an amalgamation of religion, Native American spiritualism and a tried and true underdog story. ...

Review:I found my first QBQ book at a local Goodwill store. Soon after I invited someone to come and present book to my staff. This is the best decision I have made in a long time. Simple but powerful insights. I am reminded every day of the principles in this book. Read more
