The book enforces what one would learn about management from real life, should one have an open mind and an open eye to learn from other's mistakes. This is because it is good to learn from your mistakes but it is faster to learn from other people's mistakes.

Worth the read. Although I wish i had trained myself for what i read in Harvard itself. :)
Looking forward to applying it in the business world.
