A Solid Effort!,
This review is from: Raise the Bar (Hardcover)
Mike Vance (who worked closely with Walt Disney, one of the world's greatest innovators) and Diane Deacon clearly know their stuff when it comes to raising the bar, thinking outside the box and other somewhat clichéd approaches to business and personal performance. But, paradoxically, their book fails to raise its own bar. The writing is simplistic, lacks personality and reads like a formulaic presentation absent nuance, wit, intellect or style. Nonetheless, the book's content is worthy of your attention, especially if you're stuck in a rut, fearful of innovating or locked into a corporate climate that discourages creativity. We at getAbstract.com recommend this book's message to those who need a reminder that unless they innovate and ratchet up their achievement level, they will stagnate. As for the authors - do as they say, not as they write.

Amateurish,
By A Customer
This review is from: Raise the Bar (Hardcover)
I'm surprised that anyone who advocates creative thinking would write and publish such a simplistic book that totally lacks imagination in its presentation. Should'nt people who try to sell their expertise in creativity be at least a "tiny" bit creative when they produce a book?
