Fascinating Story

Revisado: 04-07-20

The story was engrossing and it was well narrated. I was expecting more detail into transactions on the money flow, but it still had sufficient facts and data. It would be interesting if an update could be provided in the next year with details on developments since the new government took the reigns in Malaysia that was noted at the Cary end of the book.

Camel back content

Revisado: 06-08-18

This was an excellent book overall. The only problem that I had with it, was it was very strong at the beginning, but kind of repetitive and slow in the middle, and then had a very strong finish. There are lots of action steps that you can put in place immediately, and great advice referencing timeless scholars that you can use to guide your future success. The narration was top notch!

General process, not successful franchising

Revisado: 05-03-18

A more appropriate title would be “Structure and ideas on how to run an efficient business.” I didn’t find any nuggets on franchising, growing, scaling, or selling. Lots of systemizing, and that content was well structured.

Deep and Complete

Revisado: 05-30-07

How can an audio book this long be interesting? That was the question Mr. Malone answered through deep and complete treatment of Thomas Jefferson as a Virginian, leading up to the time of the Declaration. The thoughtful background and treatment of TJ's role in the government of Virginia is fascinating. If you have a passion for learning all you can about these times in our history, I have not heard any better than Mr. Malone. On to volume 2!

Deflated

Revisado: 12-27-05

I was unexpectedly disappointed by this book. After reading the glowing reviews from others, I expected an inspiring, insightful review of the amazing things done at IBM in one of the most remarkable turn-arounds ever -- my hopes were deflated. What I got out of this was a combination of kind words for those long time IBMers who helped, and advertising for IBM's positioning for future stock growth. Mr. York's role in achieving the turn around was grossly under-promoted, as few of the structural cost improvements would have been achieved without him, and there was little insight shared on how Mr. Gerstner came to determine the specific changes that were made. Further, the last third of the book is spent delivering Mr. Gerstner's political perspective on everything from schools to charitable contributions. Not a recommended read.

Introduction looking for content

Revisado: 05-11-03

Simply put, this book's content is strictly marketing the importance of six sigma without ever getting to the content. It read like the advertising for the next Ronco device and never gave any useful information for driving improvement or change.
