Great book, could use a different reader for some chapters

Great book, however the little chuckles at the end of every other sentence in some chapters are a challenge to listen to.

Looking forward to putting in use.

Great read - actionable takeaways. I started putting some principles in action as I read, but looking forward to recalibrating work life with this going forward.

Great Material - One Reader is Distracting In Perf

I love the content. The production is moderate. One author/reader put too much voice inflection in his performance. Jim Huling is a great mind and enthusiastic but his enthusiasm was distracting to the point that I couldn't concentrate on the material content. I probably would need to purchase the physical book to overcome this. as a note, I listen and learn through audio books extensively.

Helpful for any team leader, manager, VP or CEO

This will help you dramatically improve team performance. It is not just theory but actionable steps on how to do it.

if you are not willing to commit 100% and lead by example, this is not for you.

Great business tool

Tough as only an audio book. Need the pdf along with the book. Very applicable content. I need to read again to absorb everything.

Easy to listen

I liked the change in readers and voice enthusiasm to keep me engaged. I also liked hearing other voices to portray other characters.

Loved the examples referenced

Great read! Time to tame your wig! This book lit something inside of me that I haven’t felt in a while.

Excellent Gide to getting your act together

After this book it is abundantly clear that the cult like feeling you get whenever some new approach comes along is a natural response to change. In reading and acting on the four disciplines you can remain agnostic and still benefit from the results. It is the utmost importance that you never confuse efforts with results. This is about results. Thank you to the Authors and everyone responsible for getting it published.

Well organized.

Audio version was slightly different than paperback, using more relatable phrasing for the practical usage of the information.

must read

this book is a must read for anyone wanting to achieve goals, whether personal or business.
