I feel that everyone has something to gain from reading this book. It’s concise, to the point and a quick read. The four disciplines are demonstrated with an easy to follow story. It looks great on paper, I can’t wait until I get to put what I have learnt fron this book to practise. At this point in time, I am a bit sceptical, that these 4 extremely simple disciplines when practised consistently and diligently, can really work. I almost believe it. I want to believe it. Experience, will tel you that great things can be ahceived by teams that are aligned to the same purpose and goals.

It is a very easy to read book but don’t get me wrong, it is worth! Although it is a fable, it is a great mind shaker…

This book is a must-read for CEO’s, venture partners, and executives that have any interest in improving themselves as leaders. I’ve given it often as a gift, and more often as a survival tip.

I enjoyed this book. I had to read it for class, so the fact that it was prefaced with a very enjoyable story was a HUGE plus! Since I am someone actively seeking management, I found this book to be helpful with my life goals – although it seems a little simple, I am looking forward to putting this into practice!

All three of Pat Lencioni’s books are awesome. This one is no different. The simplicity of his message and the foundations of good business make the book easy to apply to my real world. I love this book.
