If you’re looking to be spoon fed a checklist, you’re not going to find it here.The “BUILD” in BUILD Framework is an acronym a la those motivational posters in elementary school. It seems a bit kitschy at first glance but the content as a whole is worth “shooting for the moon because even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars.”This book isn’t for those unapologetic, take-the-money-and-run type wanting to be a wolf on Wall Street or a champion poker player. Maybe the subtitle “A Heart-Based System for Personal and Professional Growth” is a dead giveaway, but this book is more about growth in building relationships and maintaining them through compassionate leadership rather than climbing the corporate ladder, leaving destruction in your wake.My Positives:It’s only 114 pages! Even though the author uses his fair share of examples to add context to the information being given, it doesn’t feel like the book length is overly inflated with copious stories and anecdotes.He includes “Action Benefit Challenges” that help to illustrate the point being made but also to give inspiration on things to do by yourself to enact the concepts.Each part of the BUILD Framework comes with 2 “success attributes” to embody that foster a better likelihood of implementation success, and 2 “emotional contractions” that are, or may, impede your success with the BUILD concepts.Most of all, I enjoyed that this book stressed the importance of authenticity and honor. I’ve read a lot of personal development books that seem to focus on the self and personal success but this book does a good job at melding success with compassion. It illustrates one of my favorite quotes: “a rising tide lifts all boats.” read less

He calls his system "heart-based". He emphasizes the importance of building relationships. "Building Relationships" is the first step in John Peitzman's guide. Next is "Understand The Business," "Implement Strategies," "Lead and Inspire," "Deliver Excellence." The book is a quick read. When you think about it, the guide is just commonsense advice.

This piece is condensed, easy to read and is filled with colorful anecdotes and mind-opening metaphors. Most notably, the model for business and personal growth is compared to a boat and the obstacles align with the nautical theme. The acronym of BUILD and others like AWESOME also set the stage for an easy and enjoyable read that not only checks off the box for self-help but thought provoking literature as well. Unlike most business strategy advice books, Peitzman effectively interweaves real-life experience and other professional advice. The balance creates a comfortable tone that makes understanding the concepts doable and rewarding. Often, finding ideas that stick is close to impossible because there is so much information available to us but Peitzman gives us a refreshing outlook that is difficult to find in other's writings. read less
