This book was actually a pretty good read for a business junkie like myself. I was able to learn new strategies to implement in the future.

Хорошая книга с детальным разбором темы. Конкретные действия и примеры реальных компаний.
Понравился подход к раскрытию темы. Буду дальше читать книги Harvard Business School.

[Mariyan Tashev · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's a good introduction. Now it is a bit dated, but the ideas will still apply.
Considering the length of the book, I'd say it's worth a read if you are a novice in this realm.

This book is simple yet very comprehensive, connecting the dots from strategy to execution. It is a must-read for all senior professionals pivoting into executive or senior leadership roles.
