- Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2023This is another hit from the Fisher Factory of small books about big thinking that changes how we work together. No fluff. Plenty of well-written sentences to clip and post as reminders.
Fisher and Sharp start with the importance of clarifying purpose. They are in good company. Like Bent Flyvbjerg (24 years later), they emphasize thinking before doing. They show how you can lead when you don't occupy the nominal leadership chair. Worth readying and re-reading.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2013This was a really good, to the point book with a lot of really good advice. It only took about 4 hours to read the whole book and I still use it as a reference when I need advice on certain situations.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2007I recently bought this book from Amazon and really liked it. The book breaks down the leadership process and helps the reader to achieve the goals individually and then 'laterally' lead his/her team to achieve the same. Simple advice coupled with relevant examples make it easy to read and implement. Highly recommended for anyone working in a team environment.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2024Great for the price, doesn’t take up too much counter space. My only complaint is the hooks for bananas tend to stretch bananas to open
- Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2009This book is awesome, I started reading this book and it started off like it was the place I worked, I am still reading it and marking up the pages. This is truly a good read for a Manager/Supervisor or those in supervisory positions.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2001This is a book about a collaboration technique that is packaged as a book about leadership. Although good leaders collaborate, I felt cheated by what this book turned out to cover. Although the book presents sound principles and correctly advises readers to apply these principles personally before using them in groups, I felt that these principles were obvious, low-level stuff. I wanted something more advanced.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2016Work in an organization with 2 or more people? Read it and learn.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2020It is an easy read that I enjoyed it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very good book with a short
A very good book with a short, to-the-point type writing style. Helps to reduce caos and add understanding with common sense and practical examples.

4.0 out of 5 stars Livre intéressant, quoique hors sujet...
Plus de la moitié du livre couvre le développement de compétences personnelles, abordées dans des tas de bouquins de développement personnel.
Le coeur du sujet tel qu'il est présenté dans le titre est finalement assez peu traité.
Le contenu est intéressant, mais légèrement hors sujet et je me sens un peu trompé sur la marchandise.

3.0 out of 5 stars 本の内容は最高ですが、本の紙の質がちょっと安ぽい
この本はAmazon.comではとても人気な本であり、交渉の領域ではとても有名な本ですが、なぜか紙の質と印刷があんまり綺麗ではなく、ちょっと残念です。内容がとても良いので、3つ星とつけさせていただきました。
