Very hard to listen to

The author was dry and didn’t have good annunciation with audio the book which made it hard to listen to. Sadly I couldn’t take it anymore and choose not to finish it
Also, you need work books and graphs that are in the paper copy. This should be noted before purchasing this Audiobook

Interesting book but hard to listen to

Very interesting compilation and organization of management tools but hard to follow as an audiobook since the tools are visual and practical.

Reading it is fabulous. Listening, not so much.

I truly enjoyed the content in this book but I must say that i was disappointed with the monotone nature of the audiobook reading. We recently went through Metronome sessions with our team and it was a fantastic, but challenging process. I would recommend the "Metronome Effect" and "Scaling Up" to any business owner and/or leadership team, but this audiobook should be redone by a professional audiobook narrator that brings more excitement to how good the content actually is.

Multivitamin for Entrepreneurs

In metronome effect, Shannon has reviewed ideas from several top entrepreneurial books, and summarized them in a very efficient way. She also recommended to listeners to read some of them. I found this book a practical modern play book for many leaders of small to mid size companies. Fortunately, I also have the physical book, and used the audio book to listen while traveling. In my opinion, the reader should also have the book for the best experience, and go through the action items after listening to this book. In general very informative book, although the performance has room for improvement (maybe a little more emotion in voice by narrator while reading the first chapters).
