It incorporates the best elements that you could find in the other texts and does so in a concise, effective manner. JP fills his book with anecdotes, commentary, and motivational reinforcements that make the “BUILD Framework" an easy read. No doubt, it’s a great addition to your personal library. read less

As a writer, I always look at the Table of Contents so I can see if I can find what I want in an organized manner, and I could! I liked the idea that the author built on the first letter so I could read the information in order and so I could easily refer back to a section when I wanted to.The Introduction set me up as to why the book was written and then what was to come in forms of solutions.Of course I had to ask where does the heart in his title come in, and he explained why so well.I also liked his additional information examples, and guidance. I suggest you read until you find the Ivy Davis story. I loved it because I could relate to it with someone in my life like that.I am going to keep this book on my desk so I can easily and quickly refer to it for each letter, for his advice, and for his rah-rah attitude providing encouragement through knowledge. read less

If you feel a situation is good or bad, he encourages to definitely listen to those internal instructions. I love how he goes back and constantly reinstills the lessons he taught in the previous chapters, that way they are always ingrained. If you are anxious to jump start your business, this book contains short chapters and with straight to the point advise. You can trust in Peitzman to give you the best first foot forward into your successful future business. read less

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

The BUILD framework addresses so many obstacles that face businesses today, whether it’s a small business or you’re just part of management or the likes. As someone who has worked in dysfunctional business environments, I really could identify with this book and the frustrations that it aims to solve. It is a good representation of how personnel relations are critical to a business and how important it is to have all members of a team “rowing the boat in the Same direction”. Would definitely recommend for business professionals who need insight on accomplishing goals and organizing their team mindset. read less
