Triggerman said A must read. If you are an executive who has responsibility over people, you need this book. Read it every month or every week or every day, if you must, but grind it into your thick head! These truths are accurate for every CEO and everyone who thinks they might like to be a CEO someday. Being a CEO is hard, but it's not complicated.. "Powerful Work from Lencionionce again!" according to C. M. Aiken. Some years ago, a friend recommend The Five Dysfunctions of a Team by this author and I fell for his writing style and wisdom. Reading books on business leadership are purposeful but also pleasurable for me. I love to dig into business leadership and seek to apply the principles to different areas of my life.I purchased this 10th anniversary edition of the book recently. Honestly I struggled a bit with purchasin. David A. Wachtel said Excellent quick read. Don't think this is only for CEO's. Every manager falls into these temptations. Excellent quick read. Took me about an hour to get through itnot reading it for the third time.The self-assessment could be revealing if people are honest.
