Excelente libro

Libro fascinante y muy completo aborda los temas que todo líder necesita conocer y cuenta experiencias sobre diferentes situaciones.

Essential for personal progress

Stunning principles, that if applied, will transform your life! Highly recommended for individuals as well as organizations.

Easy read, but material is shallow

I was able to basically get through a chapter a listening session, and with each chapter being an isolated case study, reading it was easy. I got the full idea offered by the chapter in one sitting, which kept me interested each day. The format works well, at least for me.

With that being said, the actual content was pretty high-level (due to how short each chapter is). As a result, nothing felt particularly impactful. I think it worked well as like a sampling of ideas that you get piched on and that you could dive deeper on yourself, but otherwise I can't say I walked away with anything particularly meaningful.

Interesting points, some might need update

Some of this articles were written more than 40 years ago, and in an ominous way they are relevant as a matter of principle but will need to re review the cases exposed since now we have more information from things that happened around their time.
