Summary: Inspiration and guidance for those of us in the trenches!
Review: One of the great paradoxes of the technology-driven economy is that people have become more critical to business success than ever. None of the New Economy rhetoric about technology-driven business models and disruptive technology alters the fact that it is people in the end who will make the difference between the winners and losers in the marketplace. And inspiring and leading the kind of people who will make the most difference is becoming more complicated and challenging than ever, particularly in the big old companies that still rule the roost.Susan Annunzio understands these challenges. She has a perceptive ability to identify the behavior that presents the most formidible challenges, empathize with the players, and pinpoint the leadership skills and talents that can transform large companies into rejuvenated market leaders. eLeadership is written in an enthusiastic, breezy style; it makes one want to rush back out into the corporation and make believe that even the most lumbering and complex organization can think and act like a dot.com for just long enough to pull off the improbable! Dot.corp leaders will not only draw inspiration from this book; they will also take comfort from knowing that they have shared the pain with so many of the managers Ms. Annunzio interviewed for her study.

Review: The author is one of the foremost experts on communication and change management. Her insights and ideas on how to drive change in an organization are truly unsurpassed. Ms. Annunzio is someone who writes from actual experience and her book is a virtual manual for any leader who is responsible for communication or change management in their organization -- and these days, what good leader isn't? I give this book my highest possible recommendation.

Summary: The tools of tomorrow
Review: This book illustrated to me what needs to be done to be a leader in the new economy.Management really needs to read this book and implement some of its philosophies. People in most companies are not always satisfied with what they do and old techniques simply don't always work anymore. Organization managers need to accept this fact and commit themselves in making a change. After reading this book, I can clearly see that the company that I work for has a long way to getting where it needs to go and time is of essence.

Summary: Don't Be Misled by the "e"
Review: This book is bigger than the "e" we've grown tired of..."e everything." This is a book about how to position your company for today and whatever the next wave of change might be, whether it is away from or back to the .com revolution. Annunizio is more than a writer or consultant, she is a zealot. It is clear in her writing that she has lived through the fear and thrill of making fundamental organizational changes, as an insider putting her job at risk and a consultant putting her fees at risk. What she offers us in this book is practical, common-sense, doable and, yet, scarey. The last quality is what makes it worth doing. If it were not scarey, it would be just another "change of the month." However, don't just pick one or two ideas from this book and then expect to transform your company. This is a comprehensive change program...one of the few we've ever been offerred in such detail and with such an easy to read and easy to follow format. I bet one of the other reviewers is right. If you bring Annunzio to your company, she will shake it at its' roots, not with the funny quips of Tom Peters, but with any one of the mind-bending questions that she poses in her chapters. I'm sending this book to all my burned-out colleagues.
