Summary: Practical Approach for Working Better with My Team
Comment: I picked businessThink up at the Atlanta airport about 2 weeks ago and read it on flights. Good, fresh, practical stuff. The leave the ego at the door rule really struck home as did the move off the solution. In the past, I've prided myself on how quickly I could slap a solutions on a problem. I've been addicted to speed for speed sake. Solving quickly is so tempting. I like the objectivity, curiousity, and the completeness the 8 rules help create. I particularly appreciate the specific examples in each chapter of how to apply the concepts and ideas being presented, right down to how to use this stuff in day-to-day business dicussions. I'm having all of my team read this so we can work with this common framework so we get it right. I'm also trying to apply these ideas at home with my family. Thanks and good luck!

Summary: It's about time for some common sense business thinking
Comment: As a person working with many senior and mid level managers, I appreciate the common sense(not common practice) thinking this book offers. It's amazing to me how quickly people jump to "solution" without slowing down to consider some fundamental questions that a good business person would ask.
I only wish that more of the people I deal with would work from this approach - get away from their ego's and personal agendas and start working a process to arrive at conclusions that are based on sound logic and effective dialogue. These are tools I'll definitely apply. Well done Marcum and Smith.

Summary: Read this book
Comment: I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is written in a casual and easy to read tone. I found it quite easy to devour in one sitting. I've spent over 12 years as a "Big 5" consultant. I think if more consultants take the advice of the authors, we'd see more innovative solutions become reality. I like this book because it's actionable; it's not just about "thinking" (e.g., see rule four: Get Evidence OR rule five Calculate the Impact). There is practical advice. There are great anecdotes. I like business books that give me ideas on what to do day-to-day. businessThink does that. If you're a consultant, read this book and let's see some innovation out there!
