I was put onto this book by a supervisor a couple levels above me about 9 years and didn't read it initially but when I did, WOW! It really got me in the right frame to make necessary changes when I was acting manager and helped me to sell my team on the process and tagging sacred cows. A good companion we tied in to make it more fun was "the Simpsons" episode about Bovine University. It really promotes making change in a positive manner.

Kriegel and Brandt are so direct in their approach, so simple in their ideas, so refreshing, it begs the question, why didn't someone think of it sooner? As a strategic planning consultant, I believe that any manager in any business will benefit from reading this book. But BEWARE, reading this book can lead to frustration, as you try to implement these heretical concepts in organizations that are not run by Change Ready people. I would love to see them attack our tax code next!

Highly recommended for any supervisor or manager who acts as a change agent in their organization. Reflected my own organization in each chapter and I appreciated the specific strategies suggested.

This book will not only give you the insite but even the courage to identify, corral, and even eliminate many of the sacred cows which encumber your daily work environments. If for no other reason you can use some of the ideas in this book to have a little fun buy just calling attention to sacred cows at the office
