The book has some good points but it is poorly written. With a title including the phrase "five simple steps," one would think that the book provides a simple list of five steps, yes? It does not!
Indeed, the five simple steps are none of the above - neither five, nor simple, nor steps. The 'steps' would better be referred to as indicators to look for, factors of change, and/or requirements to be present in that next top-performing company — in parallel, not in series.
Regrettably, although the points are excellent, the haphazard presentation makes them needlessly difficult to understand. The author is obviously a very intelligent person, but he should have gotten help putting this 'book' together. Rewritten, it could be a five-star gem.
