      This is one of those books that reinforces my suspicion that maybe I should have been a shrink. The anecdotal stories involving managers in high-stress roles such as Microsoft are interesting. The profiles of these individuals are familiar to anyone who has spent time in the corporate world. The book addresses techniques used to address and correct behavioral flaws, but success is far from uniform much less guaranteed. I'm still interested in hearing how such dysfunctional individuals rise to a level in the first place. While I suspect Rowley's methods can have some impact when the subjects are motivated and have trust in her, as the administrator, to make them better managers; I can't see how it will be especially practical from the observers point of view (ie, me as reader of the book). Finally, I was a little disappointed that among all of the flawed management issues brought forth in the book, none of them struck me as being personally identifiable. I know I have issues, but Rowley either doesn't mention them or tangentially skirts them.
