2 stars

The first three essays or pieces are worth reading. I feel like I read parts of the first two in the past, but it was good review. The article on managing monkeys was very helpful.

The other articles are less detailed iterations of the Power of Full Engagement. I would recommend that book over this, but it was good that HBR confirmed the Power of Full Engagement.

I used to subscribe to HBR but I stopped for two reasons - one they watered down the articles to be less scholarly and MBA continuing ed to more like one step above a popular medium or linked in post. The articles here fit that bill (except Drucker). Second they have TWO double issues - January -Feb and July-August. It seems that they are focusing more on books like this and headed into US News & World report land. That's too bad. Here too I saw a lot of overlap between articles.
