review 1: I had high hopes for this book. I approached it with an open mind and a desire to follow its recommendations in all seriousness. Alas, one thing that massively hampered my enjoyment, was that the authors relied heavily on the purportedly successful case study of Lonmin plc. Viewers of the news may have seen coverage of the recent miners' strike in Marikana 2012, a Lonmin mine, where many miners were gunned down and killed over what was ultimately a wage dispute. I felt this exemplar case study - a large chunk of this book - drained the book of almost all it's credibility. At the end of each sentence, I found myself mentally adding the words "yeah right". Had it not been for that, I could say there are certain things in the book worth gleaning and internalising. Yeah r... moreight.
review 2: Steve Zaffron and Dave Logan apparently need to read Made To Stick by the Heath brothers. Their three laws of performances are not memorable, clear, or even particularly useful, although they do make tons of promises throughout the book of all the ways you will be able to use them. Mostly, the book was full of unneeded management jargon. There were several interesting points brought up, but they were not clearly or interestingly expressed. The book was a cliche and derivative self-help book. Don't bother with it. less
