57/100

There's real 40-years-in-the-trenches wisdom here about ditching top-down control in favor of listening to how employees actually talk about their work, and that's a genuinely different angle. But the writing stays dense and academic, and it's thin on concrete how-to, so it lands more as a thoughtful critique than a practical playbook.
