5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent, though somewhat dry., June 10, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Leadership in Action: Tough-Minded Strategies from the Global Giant (Hardcover)
Maucher's German precision and often mentioned Swiss pragmatism makes this book a masterpiece in understatement. It is not an entertaining read but rather an informative one. The anecdotes that are such an intrinsic part of similar American writings are not present in this book. While it makes it somewhat dry going at time, it does nothing to detract from the valuable contents of the book. Read it, because it offers interesting insight into the way a European executive thinks. Maucher's statements, both economic and (the few) political, are astoundingly accurate and his social preditctions using economic indicators can only be described as uncanny. In particular his prediction of the current tensions in the Indian peninsula. You may not enjoy it, but one can certainly learn from it.
