It did broaden her knowledge and gave her more confidence in her job . It would be helpful to anyone stepping into a managerial position. ... show more

  • Practical tools and tips for leaders and managers
Format: Kindle
I liked the simplicity of the message- this was a quick read. As with Wickman’s other books about the EOS- (Traction and Get a Grip), there are useful forms included and helpful lists and exercises to lead and manage others. This book will be most useful for entrepreneurs who want to be great leaders and managers of people in their organizations, and likely don’t have HR professionals on staff to advise them. The only reason I didn’t rank this a 5 is that I am a tough rater, and this didn’t include any new information for me- it covers the basics, so is a good refresher for some who already know these principles. ... show more

  • A lot of the same information as in Traction, etc. but still useful.
Format: Kindle
Like many of the other books related to the Entreprenuerial Operating System (EOS), it contains a lot of the same information. So if you have read Traction, Rocket Fuel, etc. you will find a lot is repeated. That said, as a new integrator in a small company that has been implimenting the EOS system over the last few years, I'm a big fan of the EOS model and think a few more dollars for another book to help round out your EOS tool set is well worth it. Our company's visionary and I have started discussing chapter by chapter the contents of this book. ... show more

  • some good content
Format: Hardcover
overall a good read. Only negative, it seems designed to get you to use their larger program which would be a large purchase. But I did think it was worth it overall.
