In Pursuit of Elegance: Why the Best Ideas Have Something Missing by Guy Kawasaki, Matthew E. May

3.0

A little disappointing. Not a bad read, and many of the anecdotes were interesting, but that's as far as it goes. I didn't find that there was a unifying theme threading between the stories - many of the ideas didn't seem to have obvious elegance or even anything missing. For example, the factory without an HR department - I guess it's missing an HR department, but it's not missing the HR role - they just moved it around. It's perhaps not a bad idea, but I think the story glossed over was was probably a complicated transition in the interest of presenting an "elegant, simple solution".
