It would be easy to overlook the nine lies of this book as something akin to a myth-busters moment: all fireworks and bang, great for pop trivia. But listen to this: The best plan wins and the best companies cascade goals. People need feedback and the best people are well-rounded. People have potential and can reliably rate other people. Work-life balance matters and leadership is a thing. Yes, you read those right: they’re the lies, not the truths. Each one is exposed cleverly by the authors.
