Basic common sense and difficult to read, 11 Sep 2007
As the author admits throughout this book, it contains little more than good common sense. There's nothing wrong with this - many people need common sense solutions to be spelled out to them. However, it's a real slog to get through this book - the material is dry and it could have been better written and less repetitive.
The book is very USA-centric. It annoyingly uses local product names, for example, that won't mean much to people outside the USA. Furthermore, despite Allen's protests to the contrary, I would contend that his system needs tweaking to make it more useful for many people outside his own main area of experience (white collar higher management in Western societies). Understandably, Allen's experience with those of us in other jobs and in other cultures and who wouldn't dream of hiring a consultant to tell us how to organise ourselves, let alone be able to pay them, is limited, and though the main (common sense) approach is fine, it can be approached more flexibly than Allen suggests.
I do have to ask myself how Allen's customers had managed to become top executives of large companies without being able to organise themselves, even with all the resources at their disposal ...

At least I got this review done!, 7 Aug 2006
Some helpful principles but I still prefer the series of books by Geoff Burch.
