Interesting but Lacks Depth
I liked the premise of the book, but I was hoping for more depth in the case studies. It’s a good introductory read, but not as in-depth as I wanted. Still, there are some helpful lessons for any corporate environment.

Not What I Expected
I was hoping for more actionable steps, but the book felt like it skimmed over critical details. A bit disappointing since I’ve heard great things about it. It’s not bad, just didn’t meet my expectations.
