Summary: Good points, but obvious ones.....
Comment: This book points out the basic sins of management: lack of trust, short-term gains, mistreatment of employees, etc. There are some interesting points made, and the author does a good job of presenting them. However, this book focuses on pointing out obvious facts rather than giving specifics. Which is fine, if that was his purpose.

A lot of areas were repetitious, saying managers put short-term over long-term, lack a vision, and lack integrity. Then, at the end, the author says we need managers with a vision and integrity and all the rest.

Overall, this was a well written book (with a very insightful Preface making the case for litigation) that is good for beginners to read. The book will probably be of no help to businesspeople, though, because it lacks specifics and is vague.
