WEIRD IDEAS THAT WORK

Good

a very useful, pragmatic book for all leaders. I fully recommend it

Not really that revolutionary or weird. But useful to provoke thought.

A good thing about this book is you can read it as you wish.Start reading, stop, restart, stop again...The ideas are presented in a clear and independent way, which makes it easy to think about them. The author is sometimes too repetitive in its writing though.Thumbs up for the real life examples presented.A few ideas sound like common sense to me (and to a lot of other people, I bet!), and a few others sound a bit too much unorthodox, but I do believe those in charge of innovation could benefit from this book.

I love this book, but I am thinking about returning the kindle version : note numberings appear as huge numbers stuck to the next printed word, some words are missing and the text is not justified on all pages, it makes reading very annoying. There are no previews for kindle ebooks on Amazon.fr, it would be helpful if there was.Otherwise, it is a very good, interesting, well written book. I recommend purchasing the paperback or hardcover versions.

This book is a light read, pleasant read even. It is mind opening, absolutely worth the read. Reading it with application on mind, asking yourself how it fits in your company, team, group or organization brings immediate changes to your way of thinking about building products and solving problems.This being said, the formatting of the book is broken. A lot of spaces are missing, resulting in words being together, which often makes you lose your rhythm.Still, a very nice read.Addendum: It's interesting to note that the Kindle editions seems to be at fault for the missing spaces (as reported by the author, Robert I. Sutton, and hopefully will be corrected in future updates)
