The Art of What Works: How Success Really Happens

Rating:
Summary: The Art of Mediocrity...?
Review: "The Art" is simply a refresher course in management theories and practices. The "grand" concept of this book is the use of intuition and business expertise in making decisions.... This book is recommended if you are on a plane on a business trip and have nothing better to read...

Summary: Absorbing, insightful, and important book
Review: I really liked the author's "Napoleon's Glance" book so I picked this up too. In my opinion this book is quietly revolutionary about how change in society happens and it is providing new insight into the concept of "expert intuition". It is important new reading for anyone interested in business, especially consultants like myself in business strategy. I used to work in nonprofits too and it is very important for people in that world as well. It is totally different style of thinking that Michael Porter's stuff on strategy, and much more useful!!
