Many of the examples used in this book are excellent case studies for leadership workshops and classes. It was a nice variety of examples from different sectors and industries.

Enjoyed the stories and the discussions that followed. I’m sick of books that just tell you what to do (Seven Habits) – this book I really got into. Great practical examples. Liked seven of the nine chapters.

I was surprised with how new the book looked. It looked as if it had not even been read before. Their was no highlighting or writing which is what the seller had promised. The seller was true to their word about the product and I really appreciated that.

This book is a collection of “true stories” and analysis synthetized by the author from various sources.
The book presents a lot of facts and poses a few good questions alongside with pertinent analysis of the lessons that one might draw from those facts.
It constitutes a nice insight into what it means and what it takes to be a leader.
