Read this during November 2005. This book was recommended by numerous people and it was recommended by IIE in several different occasions
. The book was VERY easy to read. The book takes a group of companies that went from being good performers and moved to great and sustained that growth. He has a service organization companion reader that I have not read yet, but my colleague has it and I intend on reading it.Read this during the summer of 2005. This book was recommended by numerous people
. It may be a fat book, but it is extremely well written and good information. The book was VERY easy to read. It many very timely comments, and every time I thought he missed the boat on something, in a later chapter he would address my concerns (except for his Bush jabs). I now HIGHLY recommend it.Read this during the summer of 2005. I really think if you read only one management book, this should be the book. He speaks with common sense and clarity. He is a little full of himself and does not even consider he may be even slightly wrong or that there is another way, but what do you expect with someone who was the 'bomb' for so long? The chapter on balancing life is a bit funny as he again shows his arrogance, but still has interesting comments.
How we think (or think we think!)
. Read this during the summer of 2005.This book was a fascinating read. I would really like to look into more of the details of the research (he provides references but I did not check them out), but he makes some very interesting observations of other's research. This will make you think about how you (and others) think and how should think. (Note that I have not read his other popular book, "The Tipping Point")Read this during the summer of 2005.The latest book by the author of Reengineering the Corporation
. This book was pretty basic. It seems to be a rehash of stuff from his previous book, "ReEngineering the Corporation," with a little more management stuff thrown in that you can read from other sources. I do NOT recommend this book.Comes highly recommended.
Heard a lot of good things about this.
If you wanted to have a good overview of what MBAs know (or are supposed to know) this is a good read. Be careful, some stuff is a little stilted (there were some problems with the parts I had knowledge of). But read it as an overview rather than a text and it is very good.
