Read from February 01 to 09, 2011

This book had been on my list for a while. I am a firm believer in serendipity and find that people who seek opportunity generally find it. The publisher ended up sending me a copy for review. On a recent flight to Portland, OR from Phoenix, AZ I started reading it. I couldn't set it down. I completed the book by the time the plane landed. I had a list of new thoughts and ideas.

This book reaffirms so many things that are core beliefs at Gangplank that it is almost scary. I strongly suggest anyone trying to affect personal or team or organization change read this book. The principles are solid and I see their power in action everyday in working to build Gangplank.
