Back to basics

[Benjamin Atkins · Rating 1 out of 5]

Very little in the way of practical information. As someone who works in a fairly large organization that is moving towards a matrix structure, I do not feel any more prepared for this transition than I did prior to reading the book. There is not much meat here, the author could have presented the info in a medium-length article or (better) more fully developed the ideas through comprehensive case studies. The short quotes used to illustrate typically restated the author's points and felt scripted. Read the first and last chapter, skip the rest.

On of the better business books I've read. It doesn't just repeat itself, and gives lots of good frameworks.

I wish it had more practical case studies.

The little snippets of stories are actually the best connection between theory and practice.
