This book and set of tools has been very helpful to me as a new manager. I find myself referring to the book often and I've used the cards to get my team involved.It worked! I've realized that breaking through isn't always a big idea. It's just trusting yourself enough to think it through and try something new.
At last a new, fresh approach!

This book says in a few words, what others never say from cover to cover. Solutions to major business problems are simplified with the step-by-step approach presented. Kennedy's simple, concisely stated management solutions apply whether one's view is up or down the corporate ladder. The messages in Breakthrough are so simple they seem obvious. But don't be fooled; that's Kennedy's genius, not yours. YOU discover the solutions to the greatest management problems today. Her methods suddenly become yours as you read on through the book. Breakthrough will not only change your approach to management problems, it will change your entire mentality on the subject.As I read the book, I had a problem concentrating on the written text. My mind kept leaving to apply Kennedy's solutions to my everyday corporate life. Suddenly the problems were defined, and better yet, the solutions in sight. Why isn't Breakthrough required reading at all corporate levels? I LIKED THIS BOOK!
Excellent! Never leave my office without it.

I've been using BREAKTHROUGH! for several months and have found it to be one of the most useful and practical business book I've ever purchased. I make sure I have it in my briefcase whenever I leave the office for a meeting. If you're looking for a personal coach that you can keep with you at all times, this is the book. An easy to apply, jump start for problem solving.

Not only did I find the material in this book of immense help, it has become my secret weapon in approaching those sales situations that had been my most challenging. The sales management of our company has also embraced the approach introduced by Ms. Kennedy and has implemented the approach set forth by Breakthrough in lieu of what has always been a tedious planning process. I talk about this book to any sales and management professional I know because it has had such an impact on my business--couldn't do without it!

Every once in a while, I find something that has been published that breks out of the same old way of passing on learning. This product is one of those situations. There seems so far to be no limit on the ways in which I can use Breakthrough! to help my organization. It has opened our minds to see what we later realized was there all the time: new ways to move ahead, the most important basic barriers to break, and innovative ways to see our successes. For a leader, this is a simple tool for organizaing your own -- or your team's -- thoughts and ACTION. You have got to get this. But guard it... I've had to get 2 copies just to keep one at my desk!
