From the book reviews:
"This book is about a different kind of innovation: leadership and management. Most orthodox theories on management innovation are still focused on better and faster measurements and controls. ... The author has done a brilliant job of showing what the ingredients of such a new management theory could entail, and how they are applied at one of the most successful companies in history: Google. ... It is especially suitable for the intended audience: policymakers, managers, union representatives, and public officials." (Klaus K. Obermeier, Computing Reviews, January, 2015)
