Started with 3 chapters to tell you that they would start to tell you (soon) how to solve your team work problems. Then continued with vague descriptions of fluffy concepts long enough that I realized the whole book had no real insight. It does however invent new jargon “the human imperative” ? … I still don’t know what was being described or offered as practical solutions. Complete waste of time.

Really enjoyed the translation and linking of this framework to non-business examples, as well as concrete business examples. I was encouraged along the way and almost felt like I needed more hands so I could jot down notes and thoughts while I kept reading. Highly recommend for anyone in a working role that engages, facilitates, leads or partners with teams.

I expected more. Some important considerations, some nice stories of teams getting big things done, much more depth would have been helpful.

Filled with motivational bromides. Not my cup of tea any more.
