review 1: The book jacket bio says of Alan Webber, "he calls himself a 'global detective,' which has the benefit of meaning little but sounding cool." That's a nice summary of a lot of the business advice in this book. Webber seems to have spent too much time writing speeches, so the book is loaded down with sound bites in which he's sacrificed meaning for quotability. My favorite example: "It's a race to the future. Whoever gets there first wins." Now THAT is some useful stuff.There are occasional pearls of wisdom gleaned from interviews with business leaders and innovators, but they're buried among a lot of pop-business-speak, self-congratulatory recollections, and nuggets of wisdom that seem to assume that the average small business owner has a rolodex full of milliona... moreires.
review 2: Alan M. Webber founded Fast Company magazine with Bill Taylor and helped define a Zeitgeist. It was the Internet era, it was cool, and it was fast. A decade later, it doesn't seem so cool or fast, unfortunately. There's nothing wrong with these 52 rules of thumb; most of them are good. It's just that Alan is late to the party. Most of them have been put forward in other management books of the past decade. Alan's stories are good, but he's coasting with this book. less
