"I read this book briskly and then again. It is a very concise get to work book. The idiology it espouses is to do, not to say. By that I mean that you should be getting things done and making things happen, in stead of asking questions on what you should specifically be doing. The message that comes from this for leaders is to have your people read this book, if they whine, then tell them "message to Garcia" and that battle cry will help them focus back to getting the mission accomplished whatever it is. My experience with staff work is that people become efficient at finding other people to do work. Inevtiably you need to have someone who actually does work, or you run out of people who do things. This book is strongly chastising those people who don't work, and praising those who do. It was okay. The downside, now that I have gone too long, is that it does not have any requirement for leadership. The focus of this book is to work hard, and if you are lucky you will have people who work hard, work for you. Other than that, you do absolutely nothing to guide or lead them, or even to bring them to a point where their work is useful, you just send them on their way to figure it out. This seems less efficient, but I guess if everyone wants to work 20 hours days, doing 10 hours of work, I guess this is the way to go..."
