Review:Good read but I expected more. After reading this book I asked myself what did I learn. I couldn't convince myself that my time was really utilized reading this book, but it's an interesting read though especially for people from tech area. Read more

Review:Enlightening, provocative, and new. Some Amazon people I spoke with had not yet heard of this book. Takes the 14 Principles off the wall and makes them addressable. Inspiring with a push to action. Read more

Review:Mr. Kotler's Abundance is a good, solid read - but nothing really earth shattering. There are better business books out there (Godin, Gladwell, etc) but it's ok. Didn't love the writing style, but that's just personal preference perhaps. Read more

Review:This slender volume is basically just a repackaging of popular economics topics that have been written about ad nauseam. Vaguely entertaining, but the research is very shallow, and the writing is amateurish. Would give it three stars, except that the publishers and/or authors clearly stacked the other reviews in an egregious way. Read more

Review:The big negative is it's repetitive.

Review:Patrick has a knack for making business reading enjoyable, and making the heart of the message clear. Even when the truth is hard to face, this book won't let you leave without wanting to deal with your team's underlying issues. Every leader should read this book. Read more

Review:What a great book on what actually happens in the corporate world. As a corporte director for a fortune 500 company, I find these "silos" at every turn. And once I recognize it, my interface with these departments take a different tactic from the normal interactions with "normal" groups. Indeed, this book solidified my viewpoint on staking out claims to certain areas and have help me to get beyond the hurdles they represent.

I applaud the author for his insight and deep understanding of... Read more

Review:Not only does this book cover mistakes and problems within a team, it explains a way to address the problems. This book goes one more than, "The Five Dysfunctions of a Team: A Leadership Fable".

Don't just tell me about a problem, tell me how to fix it.
