I really like the takeaways from this book, as well as the manner in which they were presented. Clean, concise, to the point. There's several nonintuitive findings in running effective organizations that subvert common narratives, and which need to be heard more not only in the business realm, but in education policy and in schools. It's not what's flashy that brings us to greatness, but rather real hard, steady work backed by determination and will.
