My Take on the Book
This was a great book that really made me rethink how innovation works and should work in the organizations that I am a part of. The book is short and sweet and definitely practical in nature. The author minces no words in his appraisal of what people are doing and what they should be doing. The examples that he gives are on point and you will find that this book is one that you will want to go back to time and time again so that you can reconsider each of his points as time goes on (or at least I did).
This is a book that I would highly recommend for all, as it will open your eyes to how innovation is something that you will work at consistently so that you and your company can ultimately succeed!
