5.0 out of 5 stars Career Changing, October 29, 2008

By	Joel C. Themmen "Development Guy" (San Diego) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Death by Meeting and the 5 Dysfunctions of a team were career changing for me. An incredibly quick read yet a powerful message. The other volumes are OK but the first 2 are must reads. Buy these - read them - pass them on - your organization will benefit.

5.0 out of 5 stars He just makes sense!, April 11, 2006

By	The JuneBug "junebug" (SC) - See all my reviews

His books are good. I've read all of them including his new one. I bought this library because I believe what he has to say. Death by Meeting alone is a reason enough (hello? who has meetings?). Anyway -- good collection to add to my library. I'm proud of this one.
