I read this while pursuing my doctorate. I felt the author was dead wrong at first, as he challenged what my BBA and Masters had taught me about missions, visions, strategy, etc. By the end, I felt he was absolutely correct. Not the easiest read if you're new to the subject. Will definitely challenge your views.
