This is a good book for someone starting a business without the experience of coming up through major corporations. Otherwise a lot of this information is covered through management development training if your company chooses to partake in suck activities.
I do recommend this bool as a pure version of the information that is often watered down, twisted, or otherwise filtered through a corporation. Moving towards entrepreneurship myself, I would struggle to set up my business without the training I received through my corporate background. This book is an excellent reminder of the fundamentals and a supplement to past experience.
My favorite part of the book is the discussion on how focus the leadership team, eliminate distractions, and to get the most out of meetings. This has been the biggest headache I have faced in my 16 years of manufacturing/management experience.
