Computerworld February 1, 1999 "An exciting book that rightly focuses on the enormous benefits that can stem from truly radical thinking about any business. Its greatest strength is the hundreds of engaging, real-life stories that illustrate the authors' principles, with topics ranging from the Spanish Armada to the Titanic, from Grey Poupon to New Coke." -- C. Michael Armstrong Chairman and CEO AT&T Corporation "With so many books on management espousing new theories or trendy techniques for achieving success, it is indeed refreshing to come upon one that emphasizes the enduring importance of clear thinking and a focus on ambitious, yet realizable, goals. In calling attention to the basic breakdowns or 'stalls' that can, and have, afflicted so many organizations, The 2,000 Percent Solution offers a visionary yet commonsense way to be a victor rather than a victim in today's rapidly evolving world." -- Norman R. Augustine Former Chairman and CEO Lockheed Martin Corporation "A colorful look at how we can be our own worst enemy, an best friend, in business." -- Dr. Kenneth L. Lay Chairman and CEO ENRON Corporation "Organizations fall behind when they stand still. Many achieve perpetual motion, only to find that they've been running in circles. The 2,000 Percent Solution is a blueprint for managers seeking to harness the energy of the organization and transform it into forward progress with growth momentum. The 2,000 Percent Solution offers clear thinking that can help make your organization a bigger winner." -- James M. Kilts President and Chief Executive Officer Nabisco Holdings "At last a practical way to focus the organization on being a winner and individuals on doing what's right for the business the first time . . . . rather than waiting around to be asked, basking in the comfort of the past." -- Orin R. Smith Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Engelhard Corporation "Buy and read The 2,000 Percent Solution, and you'll have the winner's edge for your organization and your career." -- Glenn Schaeffer President Circus Circus Enterprises, Inc. "It's easy for individuals to get caught up in the grind of daily business, and for organizations to find themselves trapped by ineffective practices. But 'business as usual' assumes that the way things are is the way they must be. The 2,000 Percent Solution provides a valuable service, demonstrating the important of outside-the-box thinking as well as providing practical suggestions that can make a difference in both personal and organizational effectiveness." -- Robert B. Catell Chairman and Chief Executive Officer KeySpan Energy "The 2,000 percent solution is a much needed paradigm for unlocking the hidden potential of an organization. A key requirement of the suggested paradigm is changing the organizational mindset to make transformational, breakthrough thinking automatic and habitual. The organization which demonstrates an unswerving commitment to the 2,000 percent solution will be well positioned to consistently deliver exponential success rather than small, insignificant change." -- Charles A. Phillips President and Chief Executive Officer United Distillers & Vintners North America "Ever since the early days of Directors & Boards, we have drawn on Don Mitchell's wisdom for enhancing the knowledge and wealth of our audience. Readers of The 2,000 Percent Solution can count on a quantum jump in their business and personal effectiveness." -- Dr. Robert Rock Chairman and Publisher Directors & Boards "Drawing on a wealth of examples from history, business, sports and entertainment, The 2,000 Percent Solution applies rigorous thinking to important issues that impede the growth and progress of businesses and organizations.
