Wow this book is so helpful! I appreciate that the author provides 10 types of conversations that leaders, managers and coaches need to know how to create. Developing Star Performers will be easier now that I have read this book. I bought a copy for each of the managers who report to me and plan to discuss it with them next week.

'The Thank you Economy' I read and found it great. Still to read 'Great by Choice' to check, but among them and considering those I read, Gary Vaynerchuk's should win the prize.

Re: 800-CEO-READ - Founder's Dilemmas - Hardcover

The best analogy I can make about Founder's Dilemmas is to think of it as "Moneyball for entrepreneurship." Professor Wasserman brings an analytic approach often debunking and sometimes reinforcing traditional views held by founders and investors.

Founder's Dilemmas is a handbook for entrepreneurs that should be on every shelf!

I read an early draft of "Founder's Dilemmas" and was blown-away by the richness of the content and data-rich approach taken by Professor Wasserman.

The ideas discussed in the book are incredibly important for anyone involved in company formation--be it founders or investors. Indeed, the decisions made early-on in a venture have long-lasting implications (i.e
whether to bring on additional founders, how to split equity, etc.). They form the concrete foundation of the enterprise. Without a solid foundation, over time cracks appear which affect the strength of the structure and are difficult and expensive to fix.

The book is chock full of practical and usable advice--advice which if followed, will minimize many of the challenges that founders often encounter.

In sum, The Founder's Dilemmas is a vital, original and welcome addition to the body of entrepreneurship literature.

There are many people who have called this book, "The Bible of Product Management."

Unbelievably excited about this book. There couldn't be a more appropriate, or urgent, time for someone--especially someone with weight--to make the case for marrying high ideals with equally high performance.

This is a great book that is being overlooked. You should review this. Not a business book per se, but one with ramifications for the business world and how businesspeople think.

The book is in development as a docudrama film by Real to Reel Productions. A three minute powerful promotional video of the film can be seen by going to YouTube and searching for "Ten Green Bottles Promo". The voices of Nini, who has now passed away, and a narrator, accompany the footage of the video.

Thank you, Bob. Would make the trip again in a heartbeat. Yes, there's always stuff to get done, but it's important to stop once in awhile for great insight like yours. Thanks for the refuel!
