In order to become a successful leader Kevin Cashman suggests that we need to develop our leadership style "from the inside out", needing to create mastery in several areas such as personal, purpose, change, interpersonal mastery. I am a big fan of books that offer hands-on exercises to practice the concepts promoted. What use is it to understand concepts intellectually without any support on how to get them into your "muscle"? I happily recommend this book to my clients.

He outlines seven steps for any leader to master:

Personal Mastery

Purpose Mastery

Change Mastery

Interpersonal Mastery

Being Mastery

Balance Mastery

Action Mastery

Cashman describes each and proposes some self-exercises to accomplish these aims.

If you’ve never read a leadership/executive training book before you will get more out of this. Cashman’s approach struck me as very textbook. If this is the only or the main book you read in this area, you may get more out of it than I did.

Because this book offers advice on how to become a goal driven and ethical leader with a good attitude. If this sounds like something you have heard before in maybe 100 other leadership books and seminars, then you are right. This book offers nothing unique or original. In fact, if you have read lot of leadership books like me, then this book will bore you to death with the "obvious".

It states the same points over and over again. It is very similar to an infomercial. Spend your money elsewhere - there are many other, much better books out there.
