A Must Read for Executives,
By Micah "2daysofsummer" (Palo Alto, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bill & Dave's Memos (Paperback)
I've read a lot about the HP Way, but this collection of their works still provided many new insights. It's nice to see the dates associated with these memos to appreciate the foresight that the HP founders had in establishing strong management practices that are well accepted today. In my role, I spend a lot of time managing Wall Street and the shareholders expectations, but this book helps to provide a deeper definition of the role for senior managers in today's business climate. As an executive, I would highly recommend this book for other managers. A real must read...

This review is from: Bill & Dave's Memos (Paperback)
If you are interested in the way Bill and Dave built and ran HP this will give you good insight. Additionally, it shows a much better way to run a company than is typically the case today.
