[John Tallett · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm not a business kind of guy really and I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book cover to cover despite it being 20 years old

[Romeo Verga · Rating 1 out of 5]

Very dense book for little useful information. Book is mostly filled with fluff using business situations to contextualize core concepts. Key points in the book can be better understood in specialized books like 7 habits or neurological programming. Not worth mining ideas from this book.
