Quoted: (Business 2.0 Magazine) – Not even the most successful companies in the world are managed by the book. Great management formulas aren't handed down on stone tablets, or found in the writings or speeches of gurus and consultants. They emerge from years of experimentation, trial and error, regime change, reorganizations, crises, and employee suggestions.

This book is truely amazing... and the reason is because I'm quoted in it. Thats right, on page 164 the words "Adam Phillabaum... told us" appear. How sweet is that?

Other than that fact... this book is of minor interest to people who read this page. Basically it says: "If you have a company... find the most personable, passionate and smart person/people, and have them blog for you." There are some finer points to it... but thats the jist.
