I listened to the tape set, and found the ideas solid and beleivable. I do not have a long business life, but from my experience everything was right on. I found the frequent discussion of known wrong approaches very interesting, especially since I have seen so many people live them.

I will buy the book as a reference piece because the tapes were that good.

Dr. Belasco has a way of writing the sometimes hard to hear truth about our organizations. He marries practicality and reality with utopian dreams. Somehow, when we are done reading his works, we believe we we can reach utopia.

This book represents a solid and actionable roadmap for building and rebuilding a successful business of any size -- whatever the situation or current performance of the business. You can expect to receive important insights that you as an executive can apply toward creating a business that sets clear goals and meets them -- building the right relaitonships with your team, establishing a vision, mission and objectives while executing with leadership and a pragmatic focus on detail. You should also take a look at the companion book - a later re-issue of this edition, re-titled Seize Tomorrow - Start Today ... which is a handy paperback version. Again, this is an executive-level book which many business leaders actually HAVE used to turn businesses around. No other business book offers as much insight, so intelligently packaged and articulated. THis is the essential executive handbook for business and individual renewal.

You've heard this all before, 500 times. I think this book was written after they read other books on the same. Don't be fooled, this really doesn't work, as a matter of fact this is the type of mindless nonesense that actually holds up the work flow of companies.
