Very Impressed

Very surprised how good this book actually was. I couldn't put it down and I'm not a big reader!!! Can't wait to try this out with my team!!

Brilliant Insight into leadship teams

Patrick has amazing insight into leadership teams and how to make it work. Forgot technology and strategy -- start here and read his books, if you get what Patrick is saying, you can develop a good strategy and technology. If you don't, don't bother with either strategy or technology.

One of his best books (along with Four Obsessions...). I purchased a copy for each of my management team and board.

Easy Read

Manager required me to read this book. I was able to read it in about 3 hours and thought it moved at a steady pace. Through the illustrations I was able to learn how teams functions are where things go wrong.
Overall I liked the book and would recommend it to others interested in teh subject.

Relevant to the Team Environment

If you have problems with your work teams, this is a good read and one I would recommend. It is good to change things up, but I'm just not a fan of "fables." This is part of the reason why I couln't give it five stars - it just makes it difficult when referring back to points you took notes on. Overall one of the better ones. There are a lot of teamwork books out there. Most of them are not worth the money. Maxwell's Law's of Teamwork is a good one and so is The Team Approach: With Teamwork Anything Is Possible. If you're an big basketball fan, you might like The Magic of Teamwork by Pat Williams.

Simplifying Silos

This book does a fine job of breaking down complex organizational cancers (such as silos and cliques) to reveal both their symptoms and root-causes. In addition to uncovering these issues through story-based lessons, the suggestions at the tail of the book on how to embrace and combat these problems are very helpful. I would recommend this book for new and experienced managers and their team members alike.
