Good ideas in this book, but somewhat weakened by the inability for anyone in middle/lower management to enact the good ideas presented.
If I was starting a company or worked in a small company that was open to changing how people are treated/managed, I'd highly recommend this book.
Working at a large company where the policies are already in place and change is not likely, this book may prove to be more frustrating than helpful. Not that the ideas can't scale, it is just too many people are entrenched in the status quo and won't consider making some of the changes recommended in the book.… (meer)

OK, I have no memory of reading this book. I just bought it off of Amazon last fall, and evidently read it in the chaos of the early months of this year, but the more I dug into other reviews of it, the less I could place it. How odd. The author has recently been in the news for having funded some really sleazy election shenanigans. Currently, that's the most focused thing I can say about it. Some of the other reviews mention it was about running your career like a start-up, but I guess one might have been able to get that from the title.… (meer)

I felt like I was being talked down to much of the time. I think the authors experience was interesting, but the advise was pretty basic.

I guess my biggest takeaway is that I need to get out and make valuable connections, and there were some good pointers on how to do that effectively.
