review 1: This caught my eye when I was at the library, so this is my first exposure to Tom Peters. I can hardly put it down because I find the authors passion for excellence and taking good care of everyone, infectious, compelling and contagious! I love how that passion turns into repeated sentences and big bolded phrases. A dry dusty business school manual this is not.My favorite bit so far is the section where he talks about every team needing 3 types of leaders: the visionary, the networker, and the mechanic. The author is clearly the visionary type, and I am more the mechanic type, so there is lots of stuff that I want to know about how to make it work better that the author leaves out. He is always knocking on B-schools, which I assume means business schools. I haven't be... moreen to business school but I would hope that is where I could learn all the nuts and bolts of making a business run
review 2: Really expected a lot more from this book. Unfortunately it reads like a collection of blogs (which is what the author says it is). There is loose connections between chapters and the ideas seem to lack development. The big take away is that small adjustments, nudges, can make a huge impact. What those nudges are in your field may be discovered through experimenting. Perhaps I didn't get far enough to get the most out of the book. Oh well. less
