Reseñas de la Crítica

"Top-shelf advice delivered flawlessly by a true organizational visionary." (AudioFile)

gripping and highly applicable

from beginning to end, solid material. author uses great examples of real world applications and puts the reader immediately into a mindset of how this can apply to their lives, whether they manage people or are an individual contributor.

Well rounded, shorter book but reads a bit slower

I recently read musk and jobs buographied and the 4 dysfunctions of a team
...if you enjoyed them you'll probably enjoy this but it reads much slower. I actually put it down. a few times and had to force myself to come back to and I am glad I did bc it really shines in the last chapter.

Very well done.

Took complex roles and boiled them down to the most important area to focus. Each person can excel in each of these roles if they focus on the one thing.

Phenomenal

I know I will come back to this powerful book multiple times in the future. Very insightful

The authors narration is so well done.

Three things

It's one thing each manager needs to know, one thing each leader needs to know, and one thing each person needs to know to sustain individual success. Since I'm all three. There three things I need to know. Good stuff. Nothing really profound.

Marcus Buckingham is a giant in the field

Packed full of useable advice to help you, your management team and your front lines. I highly recommend this audio

This book really made me think a lot!

Really worthwhile for every person to read and not just mangers. Principals shared can be applied in many areas of your life.

Excellent and concise

Excellent, concise book on managing, leading, and individual success. I find myself going back to this one in between books because it's a quick read and very helpful for my stage of life.

I enjoy leadership books in general and they tend to fall into 1 of 2 categories - the thick & thorough (T&T) research dense books and the flighty, vague, "parables." The T&T are enjoyable because there are reams of research on each point and most if not all the details are explained... but at the expense of 14-40+hours to read/listen. The "Parables" for me are pretty useless and are basically 1 idea from the T&T, repackaged and written by a person who has never been in a leader/manager, etc... the positive is that these books tend to be short read/listens 1-4hrs.

This book takes all the positives of a T&T and scales it down to less that 4hours while still being thorough, and clearly fleshing out each of the concepts presented. Love it!

Good content, excellent voice

I felt it was just not enough detail into the strategies and ideas he suggests. Perfectly fine though.

Simple yet Great advice

Simple ideas requiring great discipline! I will use with my engineering team going forward.

Thank you
