Dont just a book by its cover..... kata-kata ini gak terlalu pengaruh bagi saya, karena saya selalu tertarik dengan buku manajemen justru karena covernya yang nyeleneh... seperti buku saya satu ini.

Buku ini sempat hilang dirumah (karena misplace), namun akhirnya dapat saya temukan kembali untuk diselesaikan.

Intinya bercerita tentang konsultan-konsultan yang seharusnya membantu perusahaan menjadi lebih baik, tapi malah menjerumuskan para client-nya secara tidak sengaja dari konsultasi dan keputusan yang direkomendasikan

Semoga saya dapat menjadi konsultan yang baik diperusahaan yang pernah saya bantu
