- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The book flowed together so well it made me feel a part of it.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5omg i wish i had that time back . "best book ever" LOL not even off it was the only book i had ever read. please scribd discriminate a little. i dont have time for garage like this
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great insights!! Very applicable to being successful. Thank your highly recommend. It short and the story is captivating. No need to compare books here
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A great book with some insightful tips. The presentation of this book is intuitive and easy to relate to many individual who are currently at each of those stages of their leadership.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is one of those batter-dipped, deep-fried advice books by which I mean it is cast in the form of a story in order, like okra, to make it more like something you would consume willingly vs under duress. If, like me, you read An Old Fashioned Girl (Louisa May Alcott) and thought "boy, these 'model person' narratives are really dated, in the sense that no one writes them anymore" you have simply never ventured into the Business Parable genre, in which it is the done thing. Like model girl stories they are a little dissatisfying as story (wake me when the business genre has achieved Mansfield Park). This instance is readable but did not contain anything bookmark-worthy.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Steve, advertsing executive comes to realize the power of taking responsibility for his situation and not playing the victim. Steve is in danger of losing his job but soon learns power, freedom and autonomy comes from having the right mindset. Have read other books from the "One minute manager..." series that were a LOT better!
