Like me, if you avidly devour Business Books, books on management and self help books hoping to glean wisdom, this article in Forbes is an eye-opener.
Debunking Some Hot Business Books - Forbes.com: "In The Halo Effect ... and the Eight Other Business Delusions That Deceive Managers, Phil Rosenzweig tears into some of the most popular business books of recent years, including the bestsellers In Search of Excellence and Good to Great. Along the way, he argues that many of the pat principles bandied about in the business world are based on misguided thinking and flimsy research."
It reinforces a sneaky feeling I always had that they were bunkum.
One thing is certain, we can expect another book trashing this one.
