It's interesting but very winded and drags a bit.

A few interesting passages but, overall, not the book I had hoped it would be.

A deep dive into how Organizations are structured the way they are structured, how small changes in metrics can have huge consequences

unfinished (page 153) - not bad, just not incredible or something that I need to read right now.

interesting insights on how and why "the org" has evolved to its current share

This book was terrible. I was excited to buy this on my Kindle...eager to get some theory, models, and insights into the function and dysfunction of the generic office. I sought a vessel for transference of my own frustrations into a useful image of "well yeah, that's how they all are unless XXX." The prescriptions for XXX though are useless, unpersuasive, poorly supported and overwrought with anecdote.

This really was one of the most disappointing books I've ever read.
