Eileen Sharp and Vic Hightower were frustrated. After years of profitable, predictable growth, Swan Services was in a rut. Meetings were called and discussions held, but few decisions were made and even less got done. People were pointing fingers and assigning blame, but nothing happened to solve Swan’s mounting problems. It felt as though they were working harder than ever but with less impact. The company Eileen and Vic had founded and built for 10 years was a different place. It just wasn’t fun anymore.

What has emerged from these conversations is that while everyone’s experiences under pressure are unique, pressure follows patterns and develops in predictable ways. If we can recognize the patterns, we can improve our ability to sidestep the biological traps that can sabotage us....

Toughness has long been held as a fundamental key to achieving peak performance. For generations, we've been taught toughness means bulldozing through—pushing to the point of breakdown—and that showing any sign of weakness is failure. This model of toughness has long been glorified and celebrated. But the truth is, it doesn't work. Steve Magness, a performance scientist who coaches Olympic athletes, now offers a new kind of toughness—real toughness—that can help anyone navigate adversity. Real toughness works with our biology and psychology; fake toughness fights against them.

Hitchhiker's guide to buisiness foundations.
Goes in details on how to organise a company that's already in operation and looking for optimisation. Not the most useful when it comes to starting out, but definitely a mandatory read when your organisation starts having more than two or three employees. I can see the teachings being used as the "end point" in someone's vision if they seek a profitable company. While some chapters might seem intuitive, grouping multiple of such points in an simple but yet effective system gives an overall direction for the whole company, supported by the author's real life examples. Would recommend.

Great overall systems book for a business systems newbie.
I'm a one-person business looking to grow to about 6 people or so. I found chapters on vision, core values, core service/offerings, hiring and performance reviews and weekly, monthly, quarterly, annual business reviews to be most helpful for my stage of operation. Other chapters will be helpful when I get further along in my busness growth.

this is for 50+ employee companies, not small ones
I thought this was about how to build a company, it's not. its about how to take a medium sized company and improve/automate it. the content is good, but not what I needed for my small business.

Best business & culture building book I've ever read.
I've read almost all of the top books written about building teams, scaling out organizations, building culture, etc. (Rockefeller habits, start with why, good to great, etc. ) and this book tops em all by far.

Not innovative, but a specific process.
There's not really much here that you haven't heard many times before in other business books. The anecdotes and jokes in particular tend to be very tired, and often references other books that the concepts came from. But there is one key way in which it stands out: it presents a list of steps to follow. You certainly could take the book and work through the processes one at a time in your business. (I feel this book is geared to small businesses with 5-200 employees.) That makes it much more practical than many other books. So hey, worth a shot, right?

Love the concept
I love all the concept. Can’t wait to implement the structure level 10 meeting in our dental office. We have meeting but it is a hit and miss because of crazy schedule. This align with my consultant accountability preaching.
Creates less drama in the organization.

A few Good points, stretched over six hours
In my case, this book was not at all life-changing. All the points in there are valid, the main idea is that in order to have a successful organization, there needs to be systems in place, people to follow them, and have the right people in the right mindset. This is all very obvious.

Great business advice
What made the experience of listening to Traction the most enjoyable?
I listened to this while the startup I was working for was going through some hard times. The more I listened to it, the more I realized we were on the wrong path. When attorneys spoke to employees about their ideas on how to fix the company, I felt like I was prepared to make a good case for some change.
What did you like best about this story?
I got what I wanted out of this book and don't feel a need to read more - however if I find myself working for another startup company, it might be time to read it again.
Which character – as performed by Kevin Pierce – was your favorite?
Lots of examples and anecdotes. Without it, this would have been a very boring book, but the plentiful real-life examples made it easy to listen to.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Nothing
Any additional comments?
It makes a good point that company mantras might feel cheesy, but they are needed. If you're going through a list of ideals you want your employees to follow, you will soon realize what you want in a person that you hire - and you will realize the employees you have that don't follow your standards.

Practical Advice
Practical advice that can have immediate benefits for your business, even with partial implementation. The last chapter gives Wickman's recommendation of the sequence in which to implement the described tools, which is different from the order they are presented in proceeding chapters. You may want to listen to the last chapter early so you have this order in mind.

Actionable insights based on real life experience.
I'd recommend this book if you want to transform your company or are starting a new company. It offers a total solution for operational excellence that impacts every aspect of running a business. Some of the content may seem familiar if you tend to read a lot of business books. (In fact many of the main points are quoting other authors.) But there are several great insights in this book that are not available elsewhere, and they are quite helpful for any business owner or executive leader. This book does a good job of taking the key principles of business success and making them actionable. For example, before reading this book I would think, feel, and say that "I hated meetings". This book changed the way I look at meetings, but it didn't stop there. It then gave me a system on exactly how to conduct great meetings. Now, I can say that "I used to hate poorly planned meetings", but now I cannot emphasize strongly enough the importance of regular meetings, because they are efficient and effective, and necessary for team communication.
After you read this book you WILL have a SYSTEM that you can use to run your business. As it turns out, SYSTEMS are what business is all about.
I gave it 4/5 stars for "performance" because of a few minor enunciation errors made by the narrator which were quite distracting. Articulation matters! Overall - excellent book and definitely worth a listen!

MUST READ book for any organization!
Where does Traction rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
When it comes to systemizing your business and implementing accountability programs, this is THE book to read up on.
What other book might you compare Traction to and why?
The E-Myth, Built To Sell, and Work The System.. All books are aimed to structure any company to become more effective and impactful
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Mostly when it was covering the accountability systems to keep everyone on track and held accountable
Any additional comments?
Seriously, regardless if your company/organization is small or big, this will help you take control of everything and have a clearer path to success
