"just completed it, couldn't take my eyes off of it. It was like setting before a great teacher, time well spent. Really enjoyed your observations and how you presented them in thought provoking small bites."
"this is incredible, so much I can relate to...looks like you have been at it for a while because I see familiar stuff. You should start a full day training based on the book, with stories and experiences, this could be immensely valuable."
"Awesome .. I really enjoyed reading it so far; I like the format because each page is a lesson on its own (good for ADD like me :-)) and definitely not boring like some leadership books where you have to read a full chapter to get to the main lesson; yours is straight talk. The beauty of it is that it immediately gave me the feeling that it’s a book that I can easily check again and again from time to time (instead of read once only) since the overhead of reading a single page (lesson) and learning something is simply flipping to a page .. love it and I am not just being nice .. I think the format is genius on its own"
"Very well done! I really like the format. Truly excellent. I wish I'd have had this when I took on a management role :-)"

Short but packed with wisdom, I know I got a lot out of it.

A short book of a 100 lessons about management from a former manager and exec at Microsoft. It's a very quick read, some good insights, but others just felt like cliches and bromides.
