Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Beyond the Name
Brent Patmos · 2016
70/100
👍 Worth It
Brent Patmos brings three decades of real consulting work to a genuinely underserved niche — the family business leader who built something great and now needs to evolve it. The think-plan-do-measure framework and the emotional dimension of legacy make this more than a generic strategy book, though the thin editorial record and niche focus mean it works best for its exact target reader.
