1.0 out of 5 stars Lack of substance or new ideas in this book, December 5, 1998

This review is from: The One Percent Solution: Leadership Through Action (Paperback)

This book is honest in stating that it is just common sense. It is, unfortunately, a boring account of the author bragging about his accomplishments. I bought it thinking it was a serious consideration of the topic of leadership and was sorely disappointed.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy this if you want to learn about leadership., October 18, 1999

I agree with the assessment of the previous review. I would love to get my money back. If you are really interested in leadership try "Organizing Genius" by Warren Bennis. It much more interesting and talks about creating high performance teams.

5.0 out of 5 stars Two Highly Enthusiastic Thumbs UP!, May 5, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The One Percent Solution: Leadership Through Action (Paperback)

The 1% Solution, Leadership Through Action, in a few words: 'Great,outstanding, motivational, moving to action, inspiring.' It's cuts through the red tape often found in many of today's self help books and gets right to the point of specific self questions, and specific how to solutions that focuses on the individual's personal effort. ('If it is to be, it is up to me.') Ten two letter words that can make the difference between success and failure. As a connoisseur and avid reader of good self-improvement books, I've probably read 40 or 50 in the past few years, from: Napoleon Hill's famous classic: Think and Grow Rich, Anthony Robbins': Personal Power and The Giant Within, to Steven Covey's run away best seller: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. This is one of the best! I know that because it will be my text book, and constant companion until I've memorized and internalized its teachings and concepts. In a word it's a book with an action plan, and solutions I can act on immediately without any complicated formulas or state of the art strategy.
