guru red

I don't exactly agree with everything that Mike Smock writes in Guru Red, a lot of it feels like big organisation talk, with the typical top / down structure and approach.

Personally I don't like those type of organisations too much, unless they are divided into small creative and energetic teams that have a fair amount of autonomy (perhaps similar to the concepts that Ricardo Semler describes in Maverick), but this book doesn't really feel like that at all.

There are however also a good number of valid and interesting points in the book, especially around financing and transactions, so still worth reading...
