The author spends a lot of time trying to keep on selling his book...which i already purchased. Book would be better if the author stops "patting himself on the back" and restating how great the process is and just get to details on what the process actually is, and allow the reader to decide if the process is worthy of praise.

You must read this book if you have a team or employ people in any capacity. Don't chicken out on the lessons of this book.
