A convoluted opinion piece with sprinkles of relevant information; a really tedious read, and very unfit for learning. If you are a lecturer in management; do not pick this book for your course material.

The chapters are unnecessarily long and not to the point. A unpleasant read that is time consuming.

How to be a naive left-wing progressive leader.

read as a supplementary resource to my management course, quite interesting and well organized, with cases and plaint wording, and specific definitions in the marginal.

Really good one. Combining both european and American ways of thinking about management and organizations.
