Great read! Practical application.

Very well written book.

Excellent!

After knocking a star off for grammar and spelling errors, knocking a star off for poor sentence structure and a consistent lack of commas, knocking a star off for being vague and repetitive, and knocking a star off for having 28 pages dedicated to key learnings and notes, I’m giving this book a single star because aside from being a waste of money, it did not waste much time. When each chapter is 2-3 pages with 1 1/2” margins, it’s easy to parse out the BS (hint: the entire book). Literally anyone with a few years of sourcing experience or who has remotely interacted with a vendor could have done a better job working this book.Annoyingly, 1/3 of this book was about building a team through being a thoughtful leader, somehow without really connecting that concept back to vendor management. So 78/182 pages have NOTHING to do with the presumed topic... honestly flabbergasted with the laziness of the author.I never write reviews but it’s my civic duty to stop people from making the same mistake I did. Do not recommend.

Great book. Clear and precise strategieson all aspects of managing vendors combined with an interesting and thought provoking look at the culture we create in our business. Definitely worth a read.

This is a book in desperate need of a good editor. Sentence structure and punctuation are appalling. Content is disjointed and lacks clarity.

Great Book: great strategies, ideas and tips, obviously comes from a lot of time in the field. Definitely recommended
