“A company as spectacularly successful as Microsoft ought to be
emulated by all businesses.”

“That’s the premise behind David Thielen’s new book, “The 12
Simple Secrets to Microsoft Management” (McGraw-Hill).”

“Thielen is a minister of business success preaching from the
gospel according to St. Bill of Redmond. Everything successful in
business can be traced to something large or small that Microsoft
does. Even the most minor trait of the company is extrapolated by
Thielen into a larger lesson for all.”
