Review of 'Rebel Talent' on 'Goodreads'

I just never quite got the point of this book. I was never sure whether the intended audience was executives/CEOs or hiring managers or employees. I'm still not sure that "rebel" is the right word for what the author is describing. I kept replacing with "successful people" as I read. And while I enjoy case studies, stories, and examples, there were several times when a story or anecdote never tied into the topic and just felt like a random aside and a waste of time.

edit: revisiting this at the end of 2018. I don't think it deserved one star. Bumping it two 2.
