The only original and entertaining management book I have read. - By: Hiromi Takahashi, 03 Apr 2008
The book was not what I expected: it was far better than I had expected. I had read some of Owen's previous books, & found them intensely practical. I was not prepared for a book which turns out to be both inspirational & insightful. His big idea is that by looking at tribes you discover what leadership is alll about: you strip away alll the "corporate life support systems" such as computers, HR, consultants & finance & you are left with the basics of leadership survival & success. I suspect some authors would treat this as a travelogue. Owen has clearly thought it through & offers up a whole series of insights which make you stop & think. The book is also richly illustrated with stories from both tribes & businesses which bring the points to life. And the photos make it entertaining as well: the first coffee table book of management? Maybe too much substance for that description. Not cheap, but very good value.
