Unfortunately, beyond the average

For me, personaly, book was way detailed, in the parts, that dont really needed explanation. All ideas of the whole book, can be explained in 5 minutes, maximum. He included a lot of biography, the exact dates, like "in 28 August ninteen sixty four he went to the office of the Bob Duclan, that was located in Beverly Bils, where they moved recently, and was there already 5 years after Bob leaved the office", - I dont really care, who where went, and too many data was really anoying and boring, especially by the end of the book. In the book, was some insight, but in comparison to the other, even avarage books, insights was too little. He speaked a lot about trust, honesty and respect toward the customer, but dont really respected the time, of those who will dedicate 5 hours of their life, that will never come back. So, I DONT RECOMMEND, to waste your time and be disrespected, by the guy, that dont appreciate the time, money, and attention of their customers. The great lesson, that I learned from this book, its that DONT BUY BOOK BEYOND THE 15$ PRICE, ESPECIALLY IF ITS LONG LIKE THAT. Anyway, good luck to you guys, if you still with me)

Interesting and left you wanting more

wish there were more extraneous info as to what each change maker was dealing with to get a better understanding of the total picture of that time.

Good Book!

It's not necessarily a game changing book like "Good to Great." However you'll find value in the stories of leadership. I recommend it and it's so easy to listen to.

Old business stories

Old business stories told repeatedly in the book to capitalize upon Verne's success in other books and to make a quick buck

Excellent

Every business student, aspiring business leader, MBA student, CEO, and entrepreneur need to read this book.

Very interesting read!

There are many examples of huge companies who took a gamble and how to pay off big-time.

Pretty cool history lesson!

Very cool idea for a book. What business owner wouldn't want to hear about the greatest business decisions of all time?

Well researched book

I enjoyed this book. It’s a very easy listening with lots of nuggets and ideas to build on. Highly recommended

Much more than a list or case study

It was quite interesting to hear the circumstances and decision making process that resulted in making the "best decisions", as well as the reason for each decision being included. The story telling style makes you realize that people are involved, and helps the listener to identify.

The winner - the best decision of all time - is almost shocking.
