5.0 out of 5 stars This book causes me to create innovative leadership ideas January 9, 2012

By Jim Canterucci

Format:Paperback

The purpose of a business book for me is to read it in the evening and come in the next day with practical new ideas for how to solve problems or revitalize an activity without seeming like I'm coming in with a new "flavor of the day." Growth or Bust does this for me. We really looked at one of our service processes and this focus resulted in an innovative way to be more efficient and to leverage our service items so work isn't duplicated. Solid stuff Mr. Faust.
