Compassionate Leadership simplifies the intersection of kindness and responsibility, and offers useful advice that extends through multiple levels and types of leadership. I chose to read this book for a college book review paper, and thankfully it was engaging and straightforward enough to take copious notes on and develop a connect to the material. However, there were sections that felt overly lengthy, as the ideas they expressed were not significantly complex. Regardless, I think this is a book worth reading for both budding and experienced leaders. The ideas it proposes are not just opinions, they have documented successes in hundreds of organizations and are backed by years of research.
