Title: Awful Reading
Review: This book was required reading for a promotional exam. It was by far the WORST book I have ever read in my life. It is written by a pompous author who wants to sell his views and his personal "consulting business". There were only 10 questions on my exam...I wish I would have not even studied it. If you are a true believer in "the best person for the job, should get the job", you will find this book ridiculous and you will be sickened by his ideas. At one point, the book tells you how you make your employees feel/think "the way they should". As if, we have lost our free thinking when we work for a company. The author pulls most of his "facts" out of his incredibly narrow studies of a few companies (mainly ALCOA-which was referenced about 1000 times). He also uses unneeded, difficult words to attempt to make himself look like a scholar. It doesn't work!
Is the review positive or negative?
