Absolute banger. My favorite part was when they bullied Carol off the team, then Eileen showed up to a subsequent meeting and said “Thank god we got rid of that bitch” and then Vic raised a glass of her blood and said “Here here” and Alan congratulated them all on a job well done. They rated that meeting a 9.

I read this for work. I like organizational structures and this has been a pretty useful system in practice so far. However, it also feels pretty gimmicky and MLM-ish. All the silly terms and definitions are trademarked which kind of sets the gimmicky tone for me. However, the fable is decent and the personality types of the characters are on point enough that anyone can relate to coworkers like that. I don’t personally own my own business so maybe if I did I’d be less judgmental about it. Not a lot of personal interest in this for me so it took me forever to finish.

Get a grip is a great Fable with deep implications
I enjoyed the simple and concise writing.
The authors do a great job of a weaving together and engaging story which addresses many of the archetypal Personalities and problems that one will find in business.

It's rare for a business book to blend fiction and strategy into one story. But Get A Grip does just that.
I read Gino Wickman's Traction about a month ago and had spent the last few weeks trying to figure out how to implement the system of business management outlined in that book.
This book describes EXACTLY how to do just that, and in an engaging narrative format. It takes the big ideas from Traction and tells a story about a struggling company uses the system to turn their business around.
The crazy thing is this book has drama, twists, and will even leave you with a smile on your face. Traction was a really good book. This is a great one.

A good book for any business owners whose business has stalled and how to get the right staff in the right positions to help it to the next level. By using a fabled company it helps the reader to understand the examples given.

The "fable" nature of this book means everything is super.crafted and a bit heavy handed at times. Read for a work assignment. I think the idea of shorter focused meetings is important, but there is no information on how things get done between meetings - no help on getting the WORK done when life is busy. Overall, for me, lots of new ideas and approaches, but not life changing.
