This review is from: The Dynamics of Taking Charge (Hardcover)
This book was required reading where I work so I read it. If you're not a C-level executive with revenues in the hundreds of millions this book will be of little use. The book is dry and boring. I didn't get anything out of it since I'm just a worker bee.
