One of the deepest books on core values. It is not a slow read by any measure. The book takes a week to get through it and I feel like I will be needing to re-read it again.
One of the tools was being implemented in my organization. I will make sure it will be completed next week.
But seriously, this book is for grown up mature CEOs. I just don't see how an MBA student could ever comprehend it unless having run a business for a dozen years before the graduation.

Terrible book. Added no value. Not enjoyable to read. There were no good stories or examples that would add significant context. The whole book was basically: "Core values are good. They are important. A good leader should have core values .... " So boring with no insight or applications.

I saw this author speak at a corporate event and found his message to be motivating and true. I was looking for more in the book, but what I found was a lot of repetition. It would be a better book at half its length.
