Flight of the buffalo......another management pep talk book.
Book starts off with saying that buffalos are lead by a lead buffalo and follow the leader blindly....kill the lead buffalo and rest of the herd goes clueless and you can butcher the entire herd.....so goes the story how buffalos were killed in the Americas in the past.....
Same analogy applies to organizations with lead buffalo like leader who makes all decisions without empowring his people...
On the contrary.....geese too have a leader but the leader takes different positions in the pattern without affecting their soaring performance....
So on and on it goes with many management tit-bits....
Common sense is so uncommon that you tend to benefit by listening to such books....They help to reinforce time tested uncommon common sense....
Very rarely you will come across a book on leadership or management which is revolutionary....Most of them are uncommon common sense in different flavors.....good to listen to as many of them are possible....that way it starts becoming part of your psyche.......
I do not think I would have been successful reading and completing this book but listening makes it much easier.......
Overall, an okay book.....
