Customer Review: This book offers a good overview and framework for how best to approach the "first 90 days" in a new role. Different strategies and tactics are presented based on different job scenarios (e.g. start-up versus established company).

The book opens with the announced merger of AOL and Time Warner, hailing it as a great development. We now know how spectacularly that deal collapsed.

To me, however, it was a bit simplistic...probably because I've have `been around the block'. I am great with organizing and... more info
Customer Review: The book jumps around but makes clear and valid points. A great eye opener! I would recommend this to students, leaders, informed citizens...just about anybody. I'm definitely getting more copies for friends and loved ones.
Customer Review: I work today as a maintenance manager, and this book was imprescindible to me when I was still a rookie in aviation. Doesn't intend to go deep into maths or physics, but does a terrific job in giving the newbie a clue about how aircraft systems work and maintenance is performed. Actually, the whole... more info
