Meh. More Business concepts that do not withstand the test of time.

Revisado: 02-27-24

Honestly, time has not treated these theories well. If we were as “Emotionally Intelligent” as this asserts humanity should be, our world would be in a much better state. The reality is that “EQ” has enabled psychopaths to have an almost exclusive hold in business and national leadership—and it shows.

Once again, good intentions pave the way for psychos to cease control and destroy our society.

I am not saying there are no valid insights or decent ideas, but the concept and the supporting data are flawed. This tends to happen when Self-Reporting is the sole source of data used to declare the validity of what can only be defined as “pseudoscience.”

Businesses only focused on Shares have led to our crumbling economy and unsustainable consumption model, excessive y-o-y inflation, and psychotic leaders who care only about Shareholders while never considering the employee among Stakeholders when it is the employee who is the most significant and most valuable Stakeholder.

It's just more overhyped soft-language drivel that has proven untrue in almost every manner. While this may create warm fuzzies for some, it should be immediately disregarded when compared to the societal outcomes—which are in direct contrast to the claims made by the author.

Save your money. Just attend AchieveGlobal’s ‘Genuine Leadership’ and you will come out much further ahead. This teaches readers to soften their positioning of the use of the same Machiavellian outlook as one can learn from ‘The Prince’ or Robert Greene’s ‘Rules of Power’ Cut out the middle man and just go full Machiavellian, as its at least a more honest approach to the same outcomes.

People still value honesty, and if they don't we owe it to ourselves and society to cast aside those who prefer obfuscation, deception or blatant dishonesty.

Devastating Pseudo-Science Harming Millions

Revisado: 10-21-23

I, for one, am considering suing the authors. No joke.

This trash debunks itself in the first chapter. Second these authors placed self-reported data; without even attempting to control for cognitive bias (~20%), over verified and independently verifiable clinical results, they stopped being scientists. Simple as that.

Meanwhile, their “good traits” are most readily replicated by psychopaths. In fact, given recent MRI studies on reflexive neurological processes, at least 1/3 of their so-called good traits can *only* be effectively emulated by psychopaths.

Then, we get to the utterly false assertion that IQ cannot change. That premise is so faulty it is barely worth addressing, but for those who need to know—it is a test. Tests, by the nature of testing humans, have varying results. So many factors can influence human abilities that there is an innate propensity towards varying outcomes.

This is a rubbish piece of pseudo-science roughly equivalent to the trash coming out of the labs of certain professors from now-shamed Ivy League schools.

This piece of trash is rapidly picked up by executives, naturally, as the C-suites tend to have the second-highest concentration of psychopaths in the nation, and used to justify review processes that favors other dark triad members. Meanwhile, these are also used to promote Ablism.

Just an awful piece of rubbish.

Awesome for Neurodivergent People

Revisado: 08-24-22

This is great for mature neurodivergents. Definitely not for those of weak constitutions, the easily offended, or the entitled members of our modern society. If you need someone to tell you you’re a special snowflake this book is not for you. If you need to remember you are not alone, that every journey has its own story, or to be encouraged to take control of a life that you alone are guiding—this is for you.

Excellent source of case studies

Revisado: 10-18-19

This book is a great testimonial to the efficacy of Scrum. It is an excellent reference to pass on to those in the C-Suite when you are trying to convince them to deviate from Waterfall project management frameworks (i.e.: PMI-PMP style).

However, this is not written for the average practitioner and not recommended for those attempting to learn Scrum.

PS: JJ, stop telling your dad's story. You have enough of your own. Tell your stories.
