The solution lies in understanding that most employees seek more than just a paycheck. They aspire to work with great people, to produce fruitful results from their labor, and to pursue a noble goal. Truly great leaders know how to create an environment in which such sentiments are naturally aroused.

Note: I posted this review to Amazon in 2023:
I read this author's Kaizen book a few weeks ago, and I knew I had found an author that really connected with me. When I found out he had written a book on leadership, I couldn't have been happier! I have been binging leadership books like crazy lately, so how lucky was I that one of my favorite self-help authors would write exactly what I needed?
Why is he one of my favorite authors? Because he doesn't fill his books with fluff. He has practical information that can take me to the next level (and in fact, already has). He lays out a direction that is so clear, any reader who was really trying could walk away knowing exactly what steps to take next. I know that my business model will forever be changed because of some of the stories and advice he gave in his book.
I don't want to spoil it for you, but some of the things that helped me the most were these:
- get uncomfortable (don't stagnate)
- delegate
- get to know your employees
- give them freedom and allow them to develop a vision for their own future
- differentiate yourself from the competition
- restructure if you have to
- don't feel guilty for relaxing
- memento homo...memento homo...
Okay, well that's only about half of my dog-eared pages, and I'm sure you'd rather read the book than this little blurb. I wish you all the best, and I hope Raymond's book helps you as much as it did me!

Anthony Raymond has done more than a good job...he's done a complete job with this book! He did a masterful job of framing the issues, supplying wisdom, practical steps, and humor. He touches on most issues the new entrepreneur will need to consider (I say "most" because there is probably other things to consider, although I cannot think of what they might be). While this book is aimed at those just starting out, I found it a useful reminder and refresher for information I had read but forgotten years ago. I found myself encouraged and wanting to get back into leadership. He shares his sources for the information, so I can go and dig deeper into an issue if I need to. Well done!

great read for those who are interested in leadership
I enjoyed this book as I am hoping to one day be a leader. I feel there is great information and guidance that can be useful in the leadership role no matter what or where you practice.

Sin duda una de las partes más complicadas del emprendimiento es el tener personas como trabajadores, sin duda alguna el ambiente laboral el ritmo de trabajo lo dicta el jefe, como crear un grupo de trabajo con el que te sientas cómodo y a la vez ellos se sientan inspirados a seguir creciendo? Es de verdad todo un reto pero se puede, mas vale inspirar que mandar.

Una gran guía para poder tomar mejores decisiones y acciones al liderar un equipo; en el libro se sientan las bases que ayudarán con mucha práctica y dedicación a ser mejores líderes.
Quizá el único punto negativo y es por ello que no di 5 estrellas, es que la traducción por momentos no es buena y hay que estar interpretando, fuera de ello una excelente guía de consejos.
