What made the experience of listening to Traction the most enjoyable?
I listened to this while the startup I was working for was going through some hard times. The more I listened to it, the more I realized we were on the wrong path. When attorneys spoke to employees about their ideas on how to fix the company, I felt like I was prepared to make a good case for some change.
What did you like best about this story?
I got what I wanted out of this book and don’t feel a need to read more – however if I find myself working for another startup company, it might be time to read it again.
Which character – as performed by Kevin Pierce – was your favorite?
Lots of examples and anecdotes. Without it, this would have been a very boring book, but the plentiful real-life examples made it easy to listen to.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Nothing
Any additional comments?
It makes a good point that company mantras might feel cheesy, but they are needed. If you’re going through a list of ideals you want your employees to follow, you will soon realize what you want in a person that you hire – and you will realize the employees you have that don’t follow your standards.
