This book is great for managers who have hit a stagnant point or new managers who want to bring a new system of management into their organization. I think the system itself is a great bridge between traditional management and unique management skills that really would set you and your company apart from others.What really spoke to me was an instance where the author introduced the idea and people could identify that they were an individual part of the BUILD system. Even looking at my current and past roles, I could see in the past where I was focused on, or solely responsible for only certain parts of the BUILD system and how the missing steps were detrimental to the entire operation. In my instance I was missing the first step ‘B’. I can think of many roles that might only consist of one or two letters in the system, especially in companies with very specialized departments that are detached from the entire process. The point though, isn’t to identify with a singular piece of the system. Everyone should be using the whole BUILD system regardless of their role. The wholistic approach definitely seems like something that would benefit many companies.The author indicates your first read through should just be a quick pass and further read throughs are important and will yield more knowledge. I would agree strongly. In my first pass of the book the new material made me want to stop and write things down, but I only pondered how my past and present management experience compared. Looking forward to a second read through to build an actionable plan for my situation. read less

John Peitzman (JP as he refers to himself) shares the BUILD Framework, a method for delivering excellence in all areas of life. The BUILD Framework approach takes on a holistic approach to excellence that is built on treating people well and striving to do the right thing. The advice is down to earth and delivered with an easy to understand casualness. Each chapter illustrates one aspect of the BUILD Framework and is organized in an easy to follow path. To illustrate each point, little anecdotes from JP’s life are sprinkled in to show the effectiveness of each aspect of the framework and how it works. At the end of each chapter, there are challenges for the reader to undertake to better carry out each aspect of the framework. Overall, it is a quick read and worth going back over to reread. JP’s main point is that by making meaningful connections, learning from these connections, making decisions, and then living out those decisions can make a calm sea out of a rough life. Though JP uses examples mostly from a corporate perspective, the points are equally applicable to personal growth. Regardless of your position in a workforce, there is an important takeaway from the BUILD Framework for anyone.Overall, I found the BUILD Framework to be very helpful and I reference it as I try to work on improving excellence in my own life. read less
