I read this book for my business class, but ended up throughly enjoying it. It was very well written and informative. I also felt that a lot of the concepts within the book would not only apply to a new business, but also just to life in general.
This quote in particular felt applicable outside of business:
“When you micromanage, you’re effectively telling people that you don’t trust their judgment and that, unless you’re personally involved in every detail, the project won’t get done right. That attitude hardly inspires confidence.”
I felt like this quote is also applicable to parenting, friendships, and even romantic relationships. I also feel like it’s something to consider when managing my own life. I can’t control every little aspect of life, I just have to trust that it’ll end up okay.
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is interested in any aspect of business, or anyone just looking for an enjoyable, yet informative, read.
I also wanted to include my favorite quote from the book, though it doesn’t have anything to do with business at all really.
“Books are different from other possessions-they’re more like friends.”… (altro)
