Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Seeing Around Corners
Rita Gunther McGrath · 2019
80/100
👍 Worth It
Rita McGrath makes a convincing case that spotting business inflection points is a discipline you can actually learn, and she backs it up with real case studies from Amazon to Blockbuster rather than just theory. Clayton Christensen endorsed it and reviewers called it better than her prior book — that's a strong signal for serious business readers. It won't feel revolutionary if you've read deeply in strategy, but the frameworks are clean, the prose is accessible, and the thinking holds up.
