Summary: Worse than Chinese Water Torture
Review: If a fourth grader had written at this level I'd send them back to third grade. Follow up the poor writing with an approach which can only be described as derived from brainwashing techniques, and you come up with a book that is more painful to read than undergoing Chinese Water Torture. The writer bombards the reader with poorly worded rephrasings of the same thing, again and again. He throws the rephrasings at the reader multiple times. The author switches his words around and repeats the same premise over and over. Get the idea.

On TOP of this, the premises seem to go along the lines of:
Change is good.
Change must happen.
Promote Change.
If people don't like your change get rid of them.

There is no consideration given to analysis, progress, fixing actual problems. The upper level manager at my company who promoted this book also cost our company more than $31 Million because she was addicted to changing things. I call that sort of thing a Legacy change, as in "look at what a good job I did, I changed things." It promotes change over results. Change for change sake does not equal progress.

This book is even more painful than an Ayn Rand novel.
