"Just read this on my Hawaii vacation and really liked it. The layout is like all this other books, which I like, story at the front, theory at the end. It's an easy and fun read. I believe his theory but I don't know if it is the answer to bring back every company into huge profits. Over all I like Patrick and all his stories."
"OK, the fable is a little tedious, but the simplicity of HOW YOU SHOULD TREAT YOUR EMPLOYEES is beautiful and compelling. Every manager in America (anywhere, really) should read this book. Every employee too. This book has helped me become a better manager."
"I like Lencioni's books. He's not the greatest at writing dialogue, but he gets the main point across. This book was more in line with me than Five Dysfunctions as I'm always looking to make my job more enjoyable.
I handed my boss these books after I finished both of them. He said, "Thanks for the homework." I told him to quit whining and start reading."
"Recommended by my book club. All Patrick Lencioni books teach business lessons in fable format, and do so better than other more popular ones about cheese, penguins or whales. I've worked my way through the series this summer."
