Query: Trite and smarmy

My boss made me read this. Fortunately, it only took about ten minutes. Okay, so it actually took about an hour, but there was so little content that the essence of the book could have been communicated in about 15 pages. I thought the "parable" was bad enough before I got to the completely predictable end. Not inspiring in the least. Instead, I found myself wondering if I could take a few completely obvious concepts and write a fluffy little book that would become a management fad, spawn several spinoff products, and make me a bucketload of money.
