Good

Good listening. I enjoyed the authors explanation about different organizations. I learned to remind myself of common sense!

Spot on!

This book is spot on! Such a good read, highly recommended. I could see my company in every paragraph!

90% frustrated whining 10% useful content

After hearing the author on the Harvard Business Review IdeaCast I was excited to download his book and learn some of his techniques for decreasing red tape and bureaucracy. I am very disappointed to find this is a sarcastic book contains mostly with whining stories and examples of what not to do and only 10% suggestions of what to do.

I think the only way to glean benefit from this book, if you are not someone who enjoys hearing someone else complain, would be to buy the physical book and flip forward through 90% of the pages to the actual suggestions.

A long winded useless book

The author seems to think they're a genius because they have the mystical power of "common sense", where the majority of business executives don't. While there is a core of a valid critique here, the author spends most of his time trying to be a comedian instead of actually breaking down what common sense is and how to apply it. Besides "listen to your customer", there's very little in this book.
