Review of 'The Four Obsessions of an Extraordinary Executive' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
I’ve enjoyed the author’s other books. This one did not work for me. In his other fables, there’s often a dialogue where the characters talk about the principles being explained by the fable. Here Rich is a CEO whose doing it “right”, and Vince is a CEO of an identical organization doing it “wrong”.
Following the pattern of previous books, I expected Rich to explain to Vince his 4 principles for running his organization, and then to watch how Vince applied those and turned his company around. Sadly, the fable abruptly ends and this second act was left to the reader’s imagination.
