This is a great book for those who are new to a CEO position in a large corporation. It’s only marginally useful for anyone else.
Otherwise it was well written and interesting.

This is an ok book if you’re going to be a board member of a bigger company very soon. However it will not help you very far, if you get a new position in 2nd line (or even deeper down) – want to start your own business – are not going to move in the coming months anyway
And even if you’re climbing to the top: There are more things to remember and better books to read: Or do you need a book to tell you that you should look after your new colleagues, your employees etc. ? For these insights an simple checklist would do.

I read this book prior to assuming a new position in an organization that really needed fundamental change. This book gave me confidence and a practical strategy to accomplish real change.

I read the ebook experiences others had and decided not to purchase the ebook and for that matter the book period today through Amazon.
Amazon needs to take seriously the buyers that come to its online stores and remove such eBooks if they are only a 9 page summary.
Disgusted and will buy from another online provider.

I utilized the concepts in Right from the Start to support my success as I transitioned to a new career opportunity as National Training Director. I had led smaller teams in the past, but this team consisted of 40 professionals geographically dispersed throughout the USA. I also was interfacing with C suite executives on a daily basis. The concepts described within this book helped me navigate the corporate maze, garner cooperation and drive results. Thank you!
