59/100
👎 Skip It
This one's been a steady workplace-training staple since the 90s, through multiple editions, which says something about its practical staying power in corporate classrooms. It's a concise, business-formal primer on measurable objective-setting rather than an inspiring read, and with no independent critical review to confirm reader outcomes, it lands as solidly useful but unremarkable.
