Review: Remarkable! Maximizing Results Through Value
Creation
Dr. Randy Ross and David Salyers
Baker Books
2016
Assessment, Alignment, Adjustment, Advancement, all woven
into what the publishers have called a leadership parable. It’s tale of a chat at a car repair shop that
leads the wisdom seeker into change. His
business prompted the conversation, but, as with lots of things in life, the
advice and instruction he receives goes deeper, but the focus remains on his
business questions.
Ross and Salyers parable reads easily, is a bit pedantic to
suit me, but gives the patient reader plenty to ponder. Within the four sections listed above
illustrations from car repair lead to application elsewhere, as is the way of
the parable. The meat comes in the last
few chapters. The first half is the
ground work. The rewards are to those
that read both, even though I nearly set the book aside in that first half.
Summary graphics in the appendix tie it together in a neat
package. A glossary of terms is helpful
too. Beyond that, they provide a link to
the Remarkable Engagement Index to evaluate your own performance in areas
covered within the text. Other material
is available as well.
I did find the book helpful and do recommend it to you. It does require chewing on the information
presented; don’t expect an easy fix is what I am trying to say.
I received this book from the publishers in exchange for a
review.
