the reference on what top companies have done, and should do
I keep losing my copy. I had the original in hardback.
I liked this book because, to me, it is the gold standard of what a company should do to survive in today's competitive world. It covers, what to me is most important: getting and retaining employees. The part of the book that covers this details Hewlett Packard, which is a company that was admired as innovative. employees there got to go into the company components bin, and take what they needed for projects, no limits on whether it was for HP or for home development. This has stood out for many years.
Other topics included an impressive look at how many levels of management existed between the lowest tier employee and the president of the company. It fascinated me that this was always less than seven in the best companies. Even more interesting was that this also applied to the Catholic Church.
I love this book.1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.
