Customer Reviews: Avg. Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Thinking for a Living:
Excellent Buy - A must have: I have read a number of Tom's books, but this one beats them all (I am saving up to buy another one!). The knowledge worker is an essential ingredient for innovation. Fascinating title, well prepared and perfectly laid out thoughts and a simple style writing makes this book a choice material for anyone seeking personal development or involved in self-directed learning. This book is a true blessing and I am glad I bought it. It is a steady reference for my knowledge management project and hopefully,... You have got to be kidding?: I endeavor to follow the addage that if you have nothing nice to say then say nothing; however, this work is redundant, virtually devoid of any actionable insights, and smacks of a self indulgent attempt to justify his own ideosycratic work habits. I kept going in hopes that one concept would justify my investment of mind. The only return on my investment is a book I can now confindently refer to those I distain and assiduously warn those I adore to avoid. Insightful and pragmatic: Though he starts with a fuzzy definition of knowledge workers, Thomas Davenport quickly gets to the point where his ideas are both illuminating and practical. His logical structure covering multiple approaches to improving the performance of knowledge workers both changes some foundations upon which to approach the task and also provides many practical ideas to implement.
