Review # 1 was written on 2018-07-16 00:00:00 Ronen Banerjee This book was super helpful for my team to read, and we use a lot of the language from the book when communicating as a team. It is a fast easy read, and the content has been useful on many occasions :)

Review # 2 was written on 2014-08-21 00:00:00 James Smith This is exactly like every feel good "we are going to work together as a team and build a successful team!" books I have ever read. I think the only difference is it didn't have the word synergy. (At least, thinking back, I don't ever remember seeing that word. There's still a good change it was there.) And the margins and the top and the bottom of the page were ridiculously large. I mean, if you don't have enough content to fill 256 pages, then don't make your book 256 pages! (Seriously, 2 inch margin at the top.) This book could have easily been made into 3 motivational posters, and I would have gotten the same amount out of it. Really, these books about working together as a team and building a successful company (the whole genre--if you can call it that) is the biggest racket. Spew out 250 pages of absolute drivel, repeating yourself over and over, never really saying anything except "If everyone does their best then we will be really successful!" and pretending it is new and different than every other book like it. It's not. BUT, I have a feeling that heads of companies buy these in bulk to give to all their employees to try to boost production, (buying in bulk, mind you) and then the next year or next quarter they rinse and repeat with another book just like it. I mean, I didn't buy this book myself to read...Did anybody? This book added nothing new to the literary (ha!) world, had no new ideas for businesses, and had absolutely no reason to have been written and published. This book is out because it is easy to make a quick buck, not because gives anything of value.
