Jenn is so right. I've already been recommending this book to my coworkers - we're in government, doing software and related stuff. She's so right and her suggestions point us towards how to get better.

I had some annoyances with how the fictional science worked. Some things seem to break from the characters' understandings of their universe, but also seem to be probably never possible in our universe.
One of those things came towards the end and was critical to resolving the plot.

I recall previous Sinek books I've read trying to say something new about organizations and leadership. I think Sinek now finds himself near the top of the heap of trusted opinions, and with this book he is instead trying to leverage that influence to advocate for more common change in organizations.
Have empathy, the charge to the current generation of top leaders... I see little direct evidence presented, but more common sense and argument. These are the things I remember the most, and they result in a request for change instead of a reasoned argument.
The arguments are compelling - but I found them to already fit my worldview, instead of changing that worldview.
Still, fine book.

I'm about halfway through this one, and am loving this look at life in the Marines.
Made it about halfway through, but was frustrated by the pacing and plot.
Kinda bored with this one, about 25% in.
