I also enjoyed her book and think there's good stuff in there. However, so much of the book revolved around being an independent operator and having full control and, notably, this company is tumbling once it's not in an individual's control.
My opinion is that Amoruso is a superb leader for a certain type and size of business (and her book focuses on this) but probably not for a large one with many competing interests, investors and all - notoriously difficult especially in fashion retail with all its inventory and timing issues.
