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.

[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.

[Prashanthi Chennupati · Rating 4 out of 5]

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.
