180 pages of talking about evolving without actually saying anything. I guess in its own right, that's pretty impressive. Reminds me of the organizational behavior classes back in college. Repeating the same thing in different terms over and over and over again, without any real benefit, as these are things that people already know. Offers no additional insight into how one might ensure that they are "constantly evolving." No framework, just fluff.

It is a business was book, but it really applies to your day in, day out life too. Sharp, smart, and entertaining. LOVE the cover.
Changing from static/sequential (collect data, analyze it, develop a strategy, execute) to dynamic/constantly evolving is much easier said than done. Above all else, it requires a culture change. But whatever it takes, it is worth it!
If you're not a CEO, it's difficult to imagine carrying out the principals laid out in this book for your organization. So instead I'm applying the dynamic strategy to my own life. For example, I like to track my habits in an app called Way of Life. I used to want ...more

A Call To Arms Against Stagnation
Although this book speaks to the CEOs and the managers of the corporate world, the message is by no means limited to those individuals. In fact, Sid Mohasseb has managed to reach out to the entire socio-economic spectrum in a small but potent book. I am not a CEO nor do I hold a managerial position and yet I felt engaged and challenged the entire time I read it.

This is an essential read if you want to lead. It is insightful, thoughtful and full of real life examples that help the reader understand not only the theory but also visualize how the theory will apply to real life situations. While perfectly timed for todays really volatile (or should I politely say dynamic) environment, it pulls examples from the past that reinforce the point that the wisdom of the ages is also being encapsulated in the narrative -- so while the need to evolve is even more u

The Caterpillar's Edge by Sid Mohasseb addresses many of the ineffective approaches to strategic planning by citing numerous planning shortcomings with specific companies. It will encourage managers to shift their focus from planning to rapid execution and accept that it is beneficial to allow for frequent and continuous changes of direction of an organization is going through a redirection process.
