Interesting and useful framing for understanding how violence happens in the real world. It also feels like a good jumping-off point for other books on the subject.
The title makes it seem like this book is about simply expanding your vocabulary, but it's really more than that. It's about changing the underlying ideas and methods of leadership by moving away from Industrial Age attitudes about who decides what and who builds what, and moving it toward a model where all employees have the ability and responsibility to make decisions. The new model is a generalization of Agile product development and thus it gets a bit hand-wavy in parts, but the basic ideas are compelling, and thoughtful examples are provided.

This is one of those books that wakes you up. You'll begin to see through the PR distortions of those who want to set a narrative of innocence in order to hide their own negligence and greed.
