Review of Five Horizons
Five Horizons by Steve Sanders is a guide for persons with growing or already established businesses. It provides profound guidance for these persons. It teaches them how to be open-minded and ready for changes in their business path. With explanations of the dynamics in business and market, threats, and many more, the book teaches the significance of 'the Great Shift' on businesses if not taken seriously.
Steve Sanders did an excellent job of using the different generations, such as baby boomers, Millennials, and Gen Z, to explain the reactions to shifts and business changes. The reader would relate entirely to this, as they would fit into a specific category. Also, the reader would understand why certain people react in specific ways to changes in the business circle.
As the writer introduced the concept of 'the Great Shift,' it felt like it was as fatal as the mass extinction of humans on earth. This was precisely how I projected it, and this feature was unique. It would make the reader curious to know what could bring about it and how to prevent the occurrence of such an event, making the reader progress into the other chapters of the book. Perhaps, on the writer's side, it was intentional. Either way, it was a beautiful one.
While the book's central theme was business, the writer flawlessly used concepts of evolution to drive some points home. He touched on the idea of humanity having a common consciousness that effectively makes us responsive to threats. This addition of evolution would add to the reader's knowledge bank, as it would open the individual to the correlation between evolution and business.
The book's business-centered theme was evident from the beginning chapter. The writer tried to break it down into bits for concise comprehension. However, it wasn't done to perfection; persons who do not own businesses would not entirely understand the book's theme. The writer brought to light the theories and economies of business, which would sound alien to non-business owners. This feature would make them take the chapters slowly for prompt comprehension or drop the book altogether.
Five Horizons was a good read. Unfortunately, I only partially enjoyed it, as it was hard to relate to some core business-centered ideas and concepts. However, it would make a strong read for folks wanting to grow their business. Persons without knowledge of economics or business-related studies would not enjoy this book. It was exceptionally edited with zero errors. Regardless of the minor concern, I'd rate it five out of five stars.
