Counting What Counts: Turning Corporate Accountability to Competitive Advantage

Rating:
Summary: Provocative and thoughtful
Review: Counting What Counts is that rarest of business books -- not the ramblings of a consultant nor the chest pounding of a CEO, but thoughtful and useable advice. Eminently readable, and filled with concrete examples, this book has given me new insights into my role and responsibilities. I'm passing it along to all my colleagues, and recommend it without reservations.

Review: I've always liked Birchard's CFO articles, and his easy to read, detail intensive, style fits the material very well. A provocative business book. Great (first class) airplane reading.
