Do you have a grip on your business, or does your business have a grip on you? All entrepreneurs and business leaders face similar frustrations: personnel conflict, profit woes, and inadequate growth. Decisions never seem to get made, or once made, fail to be properly implemented. But there is a solution. It’s not complicated or theoretical.

Story
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.

Get Ready for a WBOA
Get ready for LOA (lots of acronyms)! This mediocre book is fraught with borrowed material (from Good to Great, Game of Work, etc.) without giving credit. You will NOT want to read this book on your own as a way to gain some great new insights into goals, management, and tracking as it contains no earth-shattering RFBs (revelations for business).
The ONLY reason to read this book is if your company has recently hired a consultant who is requiring you to do so. Not saying IAB (it’s all bad). It simply puts a framework around CSAs (common sense activities).
While it's a given in business that a structure is needed for inculcating purpose and providing metrics for TAR (tracking and reporting), the constant use of acronyms in this work gets very annoying and makes you feel the author is covering up for LOLC (lack of legitimate content). One clue this is happening: when things are shortened that don't need to be (like a "Level 10" meeting being shortened to "L10"). Another: when they turn acronyms into verbs. (My personal favorite is ISD-ing!)
If your company has no formal structure and you need some, TMBTBFY (this might be the book for you). But if you’re already swimming in bureaucratic red tape, my advice is to RTOW (run the other way) because this book will only add to it.
