Title: if you need this, your company doesn't need you
Review: The five star reviews seem remarkably, well, of one voice.The vapid generalizations seem fit for people who can afford the luxury of Covey type seminars.One book on activity based accounting, and a book on activity based management, in an open books environment, will do more good than a thousand of these trivial, banal works.One manager looked at anyone who proposed sending the employees to such workshops, and said, "If you need them, we don't need you."He was right.People will go to great lengths to avoid thinking responsibly about how the organization really does business; books like this make people feel good - more like a "motivation" seminar than real, responsible, personal change.Once again - open book management, activity based accounting, activity based management, and feel good about achieving, or go the Hell home.And take your damn Covey organization books with you.
