Story4 out of 5 stars 129
"Years ago, I wrote about a retail store in the Palo Alto environs—a good one, which had a box of two-cent candies at the checkout. I subsequently remember that 'little' parting gesture of the two-cent candy as a symbol of all that is Excellent at that store. Dozens of people who have attended seminars of mine have come up to remind me, sometimes 15 or 20 years later, of “the two-cent candy story,” and to tell me how it had a sizable impact on how they did business."

Finite games, like football or chess, have known players, fixed rules, and a clear endpoint. The winners and losers are easily identified. Infinite games, games with no finish line, like business or politics, or life itself, have players who come and go. The rules of an infinite game are changeable, while infinite games have no defined endpoint. There are no winners or losers - only ahead and behind. The question is, how do we play to succeed in the game we’re in? In this revelatory new audiobook, Simon Sinek offers a framework for leading with an infinite mindset.

Not Impressed
This very short Tom Peters book was not at all impressive. The basic premise of the book is simple ideas can provide you with an inroad to excellence. Given the opportunity I would not have waisted one of my credits on this book.

Distillation of ideas from In Search of Excellence
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, good summary of core ideas from In Search of Excellence. Managers should keep their eyes open and focus on the details (thousands and thousands of details) in order to engender a never ending question for total quality.
What other book might you compare The Heart and Soul of Excellence to, and why?
Jim Collins' many books (e.g. Built to Last, From Good to Great...) would be in a similar vein.
What does Tom Peters bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Tom conveys his passion for and deep belief in his message, namely that the search for excellence / quality is never ending, that it starts with the smallest step, that it requires intense focus on the small details and that it can start in any organisation...today!!!
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, as it is a distillation of In Search of Excellence the book is only one hour long.

A decent book with a few good nuggets. There's nothing particularly ground breaking or life changing, but a well deliver message describing a hands on management approach.
