REVIEW: How do you become "great"? Well, you study what the great do and emulate them. That's the point of "Good to Great". This book answers the question, "How does a good company become a great company?" The research team found 11 companies that met their stringent stock performance criteria exemplifying "good to great". Then they collected, filtered and studied tons of data on these companies and determined the patterns that explain how they became great companies. They distilled their findings in a fairly simple, easy to understand model having six components. I'm very often disappointed with models used is business books (note: this is not just a business book) but the models used here seemed natural and didn't come off as forced or too clever. While the book is based on very in-depth research, it does not read like a research report. The author has done an excellent job at bridging the gap between first rate research and a mass market audience. Many best sellers are "fad" books - this one is not. Highly recommended for those interested in organizational excellence.

Read some of the one star reviews and saw that they couldn't possibly be for this variety of Yogi tea; I don't know how this works, but so we're clear, my review is of the Chai Riobos.

I teach at a school with a very active JROTC program. When I saw the opportunity to review this book at a discount (or free) I jumped at the chance. I personally took the ASVAB in 1991 when I joined the Air Force so I was very curious to see how the test may have changed or evolved over the past 27 years! After I am done doing my personal review, I will be able to pay this book forward to one of my JROTC students who may really be able to put this book to use! After looking through this book, I think this book will be very useful to have prior to taking the ASVAB. This book has everything! You start off with general test tips, then it goes straight into mini lessons for for the various different sub tests. At the end of each section, there is a 15 question quiz. The only change I would make to this book, is I wish there was a solution or explanation to go with the answers to the sub test. It would be helpful to know you got a problem wrong, that way even getting questions wrong could be a learning experience.
