Reviews of Full Steam Ahead!


If you’re like me, you can polish it off in two days. But if you’re wise, you’ll read it slowly in order to savor it. I read most of Full Steam Ahead at lunchtime, a chapter a day, with a pen handy for taking notes.

Don’t mistake the superficial simplicity of the story for lack of content and depth. Full Steam Ahead! is definitely a valuable piece of reference material that should be a part of any professional’s library.

I must admit it’s not natural for me to enjoy a business fable. You know, a leadership book wrapped around a made-up story. Having said that, I’ve run across a few that really floated my boat. “Full Steam Ahead,” is one.
