[Kristina Hoerner · Rating 2 out of 5]

I hate reading business books. I generally don't understand them and can't figure out how to apply their principles in my real life work situations. This book was no exception. It proposes that the best companies have two teams working on two curves, planning for now and planning for the future. I will admit I skimmed it.
