Introduction to the Book
This book was recently ranked number 1 on Amazon's list of best selling leadership books. It contains some valuable universal truths presented in an interesting way. I would classify it at as a "Leadership Lite" book worthy of downloading to your electronic bok or stashed in your briefcase to be read on an airplane. (See my one big reservation about this book at the end of this review before you purchase)
I love "fun to read" leadership books versus the "utilitarian", "old fogy" "Harvard Business Review" style and this book is fun to read. I still read the utilitarian books...I just suffer through them. What makes this book good is the stories to illustrate points are the author's own.
