good read
This is the best leadership book I have read this year about any business subject. The author tells a story I had never heard and blends leadership lessons. The story of Carlos Ghosn is irresistible.

a surprising story
The facts of the story of Carlos Ghosn are surprising. I read about Lee Iacocca years ago but what Carlos Gohsn did at Nissan is even more remarkable. The book is an easy read and it tells how it was done. I am afraid U.S. car makers are going to have problems with this man.

awful writing kills interesting subject
Being an auto-enthusiast, I was very interested in the story of Nissan's turnaround. However, Magee's abysmal writing made it very hard to read the book. It is written at a 3rd grade level, with short sentences that convey no point whatsoever. The plot wanders aimlessly and points that can be summed up succinctly in one sentence are restated over and over again. It is amazing that Carlos Ghosn, being the brilliant business mind that he is, ever allowed a book of such low caliber to be written about him. Maybe Ghosn's next turnaround project should be having someone competent rewrite this book so that it's not a pain to read. Similar Products
