In Search of Excellence (the classic of this genre) had the same problem. Being profiled in a pop-business book should be considered a huge red flag.

The Halo Effect, by Phil Rosenzweig, does a good job describing many of the problems with popular business books like Good to Great and In Search of Excellence. It's worth reading.

I'm suspicious because it sounds like a popular business book.
