Bringing back common wisdom - experience counts

I quite like the point made in the book that new management paradigms are important and can help to make organisations more effective/profitable/etc. But more importantly let's not forsake all the experiences we have gained over the years. It often is a evolutionary process, not a revolutionary one. The authors address a number of trendy management thoughts and provide a nice integration with traditional management wisdom. In addition, they believe to properly implement a good management idea, it takes more than just a couple of years, which is the current cycle of 'fads'. I enjoy reading it.
