It seems like the book provides valuable insights into leadership, corruption, business ethics, and whistleblowing, particularly in the context of the Chelan County PUD. Your recommendation and 5-star rating suggest that it's a worthwhile read for those interested in these topics or facing similar challenges in the workplace. If you have any specific questions or would like to discuss any aspect further, feel free to ask!

Maybe not my cup of tea but it does seem interesting to get a peak into life of company's high management. Also, who wouldn't wan to read about some shady business. Great review.

Sarah Kate Smith gave The Intrepid Brotherhood by Gordon Graham a great review and a rating of 5 out of 5 Stars.

Smith highlighted that the book is about the corrupt leadership that the author worked under at the Chelan County PUD, that there were cartoon illustrations and humour throughout the book, and that it was inspiring that some of the author's co-workers supported him for standing up to the boss and did not sell their conscience for a reward.

Smith recommended the book to people who are in the business sector and who work under an iniquitous boss.

This looks like a very interesting book to read.

Business management is a hard job, but those who only abuse the privileges it grants must never be in that position to make decisions. I think I would enjoy reading this book. Thanks for the review!

I just fell in love with the book due to the topics it explores. Many companies, businesses, and institutions fail due to misuse of power, financial mismanagement, poor management, and unqualified people in power positions. Gordon's experience in the Chelan County PUD exposes more of what kills the companies. Congratulations BOTD!

Tank you for a great review. From your review I gauge that this book is worth reading, especially since it touches on many issues that face most organizations today. I definitely want to read and learn of how Gordon managed the myriad of issues his organization faced at the hands of the new GM.

Today's BOTD is a memoir in which the author shares his personal and professional experiences while working for Chelan County PUD. Readers interested in business, leadership, corruption, and ethics should definitely consider reading this, as it is very informative and eye-opening. Thank you so much and great work on your review! :-)

I appreciate the reviewer for the detailed review which really helps the audience in choosing the book. I loved the way how the reviewer, puts out the merits and flaws of the book in a pragmatic way. The review verily gives the glimpse of the story's plot without giving much spoilers. The reviewer also gave comments about the favourite characters and scenes in an engaging way. I think this review is resourceful and will provide the useful information for the reader in choosing the book.

Bullies are everywhere and adults get bullied too. Good leaders are scarce but they are a must so we should strive to find and appoint them. Gordon is lucky to have supportive family. Congrats on BOTD. Amazing review.

The detailed review offers an introspective overview regarding the subject matter of the book. The Intrepid Brotherhood by Gordon Graham is a memoir that reflects more than life...more than mere reminiscences recollected in rearview mirror of time. Life is a lesson that one must learn...soon or later.

This book seems to delve into leadership, corruption, and business ethics in an engaging way. It tells the story of Gordon's experiences with Charlie Hosken and the problems within Chelan County PUD, showing how power and mismanagement can affect an organization. It's inspiring to read about Mark Bolz and the IT staff's courage in standing up for what's right. Thank you for sharing this insightful review.

The book seems to be an autobiography of the author, about his life and his ups and downs. This book, being non-fiction, is not my cup of tea, but the people who love reading it will surely enjoy it.

From the review, the book sounds interesting with all the exposure to corruption and mismanagement in offices. I also got a free copy, so I can't wait to dig in.
