Has our educational system sunk so low that every book on management has to be written at a 6th grade reading level?

Has our "War on Terror" mentality branched so far out that we should look to the military when it comes to saving businesses?

Have we really made so little in-roads into the corporate culture that management books must have a theme that the macho way is the best way?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then Bounce is the book for you More...

Very easy read with some business basics that are sometimes forgotten. Business problems don't have to be that complex, really can be very easy to understand root cause and solve, if you follow these basic steps. In today's environment, this is a good time to read this book and put some of the points to practice. I am going to.

Pretty good business and resillance book. I think I'm annoyed with it because, when trying to manage UP, how does one get those "in charge" to take a hard look at themselves and recognized their behaviors as described in this book. In some ways, a company is only as strong as its leadership TEAM.

This book lacks the academic rigor that made McFarland's first book insightful and educational. If you need a bedtime story then this is the book you should read, but if you're interested in learning how to improve your business you should not waste your time.

This book was different than other self-help books I've read. Told in the format of a short story made it flow more easily than normal work help books that I feel the need to keep a high-lighter near by.

I know that many people think this type of book is silly... but parables are useful. You really can get a lot out this book and others in its genre. Highly recommend.

Good principles imbedded in a story. Many aspects of the story seemed a bit contrived and artificial, but those underlying principles are valid.
