Power Tools for Building a Business

It is not a scholarly text. It is what the title implies, atool to help build a business, more specifically a family-business.It contains a broad evaluation of all essential business fundamentalswith a system for ranking the activities the business owner should emphasize. The County of Kern California has contracted with the author to conduct this process with local businesses. To date, they can account for 190 new jobs, because the owners are running their businesses better. The "Journal of Accountancy" published the family business checklist in the book as a guide to help CPAs work better with family businesses.The people who have benefitted from the book would rate it five stars. END

Practical, insightful, but lacks depth

Very helpful in providing the reader with a "50,000 foot view" of the issues related to managing family businesses. The book falls short by not providing any case studies or detailed examples for readers that want to get to a deeper level of understanding. Though this book touches many real issues, it only scratches the surface and I came away feeling like I just read a cheap self-help manual.
