Leading the Revolution

Has some interesting points about business innovation and development of corporate culture. But really loses the plot when it delves extensively into how Enron was the company that was setting the tone for the future of the corporate business model. Many of the included Enron stories and quotes are now so outrageous in hindsight, that it's hard to read the book without shaking your head. Even the benefit of hindsight doesn't explain away these failings, as many people quite understandably couldn't understand how the Enron model was working at the time, or quite where they found their "moral outrage" at how government meddling in the energy business was detrimental to society at large!

A great business strategy book. Very well written. The first thing that comes to mind is Business Concept Innovation, Strategic Resources, and Core Competencies. Hamel does a great job of explaining this. His insight on New Wealth is very interesting. Hamel raises the standard for business thinking.

I have read the book 2001 in a hotel in Jakarta. The book inspired me so much that I was constantly working on a mindmap with my own ideas and thoughts. On my PSION 5 I started to write a letter to be addressed to Prof. Gary Hamel. The draft is still sleeping on my aged PDA. It might be I still should finalize the letter and send it to him. It is never too late.

Este libro es para todos los que tengan el valor de actuar basándose en el conocimiento de que lo que heredamos ya no señala nuestro destino.
