5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book - required reading for anyone that wants to motivate their team, November 12, 2007

By	Aaron Wheeler (San Jose, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this book after reading about it on a blog that recommended it as "required reading" for anyone who wants to motivate and engage their employees. I was not disappointed. It's full of excellent case studies from leaders who the author personally interviewed. It contains the kind of stuff you don't hear in business classes, or frankly, most business business books. It's probably one of the best and most memorable business books I've read in a long time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Catchy motiviational book - but a bit cliche..., February 26, 2008

By	J. A. Kunzler "of Skagit IMS fame & fortune" (Sedro-Woolley, WA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am happy I bought the book for a client and me because of the promised presentation tips. Also the book served as a bit of a motivational tool, but also was a bit too cliche for my taste.

4 stars.
