Still 5 Stars.

Anyone that works in a leadership position needs to read this.

Loved the open transparency! It's a great story very open and authentic. Great learning through stories real previous situations.

A look at starting a business without planning to start a business. An entrepreneurs honest guide to figuring things out. I appreciated the honesty, openness and real life on these pages.

The author learns a lot in this book, and I suspect she will continue to learn for a good while yet. Certainly, the lessons she talks about here were taught in my management degree 20 years ago, so it's not new information. I suspect this book will be more popular with US-based audiences, for two reasons:

A) The internalised self-hatred for millennials (think, "we're the participation trophy generation" - ugh);
B) The more conservative and abusive American work style, in comparison with which, this book is preaching a humane alternative.

I wouldn't recommend this book to Australian or western European audiences who want a story about leadership, because it sounds so retrograde in countries with worker rights, or where people are people rather than automatons contracting out their souls to a corporation that is 'doing them a favour' by hiring them. It's interesting as an autobiographical account, and I wonder how the author will continue to develop. But there's no particular takeaways from this book from an informed (and humane) business perspective.
