While this is definitely a very specific (business/corporate) approach to leadership, I still think the path it lays out is useful for you to review and make your own. Especially if you do not have a strong mentor or have gone through useful management trainings, having this to guide you through things like creating a shared vision, collecting feedback, creating an inclusive culture that celebrates wins and losses--this book scratches the surface at a few different ways to do that. Working at a nonprofit, I would not directly apply some of these approaches with my own team, but again, the framework (and the accompanying workbook) is helpful to actually think through and work out how you can apply these to your team and your current role, as well as the type of leader you envision yourself to be.

Rating: 🙂/3
Thoughts:  Didn’t love the physical format of such a heavy book with such thick pages, but once I let all that go and just read the material I liked the format and real life examples. Felt physically like a textbook, and read like one at some points, but I still flagged a lot of pages with ideas, concepts, quotes etc.

Very repetitive and dry. Standard leadership principles you can find many other places but takes a roundabout way to deliver them. Falls more in the category of leadership theory than practical use. The endless quotes parroting the lessons make it even more repetitive and unreadable. Verbose diction and several editing errors as well as arguments made with false premises. Go with “Start with Why” by Sinek or “Extreme Ownership” by Jocko instead.

Reads like a textbook.
