The story of Dunkin’ Donuts is fascinating. As a matter of information it is the only fast food store I ever enter. I love their donuts and coffee which is better than Starbucks whose coffee always tasted burned.
Back to the book. I enjoyed watching Bob's growth and development as a leader and the awesome growth of Dunkin’ Donuts. Bob's executive skills are nothing short of awesome. He comes off as an incredible leader. Not someone who blames others but someone who can see mistakes, failures if you will and quickly reverse them. And this leader shows the ability to hire a cohort of fabulous executives and he knew how to treat them. How to bring them along. How to get the best out of them while helping them attain their personal objectives.
This CEO was a fantastic strategist. I am awed by his success and the story he tells. There is a lot for an upcoming executive to learn from this book. The prose is so great it reads like a mystery. I loved watching Dunkin’ Donuts grow. This book should be assigned reading in every business school. If you want to watch a great leader develop a business from infancy to the great corporation it became read this book. You won't be disappointed. ( )
