There are many habits, excuses and organizational dynamics that quietly (and sometimes not so quietly) undermine performance. Adrian Jones does a terrific job of surfacing them, explaining why they exist, and telling you what you can do about it. Spoiler alert: be a leader. This book borrows from a clearly expansive executive history where Adrian's seen a lot. He speaks from experience. What's great is you will know exactly what to do next. He is unapologetically clear. A lot of business books spend endless time with preludes, worksheets, and, frankly, fluff. None of that here. It's 100 pages that tells you exactly what to do if you want to cut the BS and actually produce meaningful results again and again. The only people who will struggle with this book are those who can't be honest with themselves (or those who like mediocrity). - London Calling.
