Review # 1 was written on 2009-10-03 00:00:00 Deb Batalden We'll have to see if I leave it at two stars, or reduce it to one in the next few weeks.... Miller certainly has the resume to write a book like this. Unfortunately, he has the ego for a shelf of books like this, all condensed into this one volume. While I enjoyed the facts of Miller's experiences, and even his judgements and choices, I kept choking on his tremendous self esteem. I found two of his targets particularly troubling. His venom towards Lee Iacocca was unjustified. As an Iacocca fan, I knew most of Lee's foibles before reading this book, but have never seen him in the overall negative context that Miller portrays here. Secondly, I found it downright uncomfortable when Miller pointed out so many of his wife's flaws, but none of his own. There are many egocentrics who see the world as Miller does, fortunately they have the judgement to NOT publish their internal monologue.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-11-17 00:00:00 D E Pogue Valuable management insights from a world class executive and leader Miller's experiences managing businesses through periods of crisis are helpful for every manager, investor and student. He also reminds us that family and his strong partnership with his wife of nearly 40 years plays an important role in developing and shaping our values and priorities.
