Customer Reviews

Definitely 2 thumbs up!

These guys are nuts! I read the book twice and laughed as hard the second time as the first ! even if you don't care about leadership, you should read this to understand what we all have experienced at some time in our working lives.

An underachievers guide!

This is a very unorthodox book and even though it was difficult to figure out what the authors were saying in some parts during the first read, when I read it over I figured it out. The approach is so different that you have to get into a "mindset" in order to follow their thinking. I liked the book and the ideas about leadership. I just wish I could find out who the authors really are and find out if they have written anything else.

Don't Dare Duck and Dodge this one, It is a must read!

I'm not sure if these guys are for real or not, but this is a funny book and worth the time to read it. I recognized several bosses I have had in their examples, and saw some things that I have done as well. It's not as easy as the authors would have you believe to figure out what the `right way' to do it really is from reading this. I read it twice, but I think I need another go at it to get everything.

This book is a must read....

This book is a welcome departure from most of the business self-help books being written today. The authors have a great sense of humor and the book appeals to that sense in the reader. I liked the no-nonsense exposure of today's leadership! I laughed through every chapter, but finished with a tear in my eye because I realized that this is the way it's being done today.

Funny treatment of a serious topic

Wow! At last someone's written a book that is very funny about a very serious topic and made it work! This is one of the best presentations I have ever read about what it really takes to be a leader. All the funny stuff aside, the authors know what they are talking about. The first clue is in the first chapter... it really IS all about character! Someone should give a copy of this book to our politicians.
