This is no Good to Great or Re-Imagine. Surface-level business advice coupled with repetitive commentary makes this a dull read... for the first two-thirds of the book. Mcfarland hits a few good notes with Insultants and Survival U... but it takes a while to get there." sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
Distinctions
Several books have analyzed the common denominators among Fortune 500 industry dominators such as Exxon, Microsoft, Philip Morris, etc. But for two-time tech CEO Keith McFarland, who years ago was trying to shepherd his small company to "player" status, the information available on how to leap from tiny to titanic was paltry. So, encouraged by both Peter Drucker and Jim Collins himself, McFarland undertook a comprehensive analysis of the fast-growing company universe to identify the factors that enable small companies to shake off their growing pains and become permanent members of the "Above $100 Million in Sales" Club. McFarland brought to his task not only a massive amount of data crunching, winnowing nearly 9,000 companies down to 40 breakthrough firms worthy of deep analysis, but he also squared his conclusions with his own experience guiding Collectech through a "near-death experience" to "breakthrough." And as further validation, he field-tested his ideas in dozens of companies, producing amazing results: earnings increased 98% in the first year following introduction of the process; 72% in the second; and 12% in the third.

The main problem with this book is that it's repetitive. It tends to say the same things over and over again. It's also a bit redundant. And there are a few extraneous parts, with a little superfluity packed on.
That's not to say there isn't anything good or useful in it. In fact, I found quite a few sentences to underline (more than I thought I would when I started it), and some things to think about. It's just…the author could've taken out about 100 pages and been as effective, in my opinion. ( )
