Reviews

[Marcus Goncalves · Rating 4 out of 5]

Although by now an old book (2003), the principles are still relevant, despite much needed skills in leading virtual teams. There is no new game-changing ideas in it, but a good compilation of no-nonsense, practical ones.

[Sam Motes · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good advise on what differentiates those with that it factor to become an executive others want to follow. A complete spence of calm and self confidence in the face of adversity and a complete spence of caring as well as being seen as genuine or key aspects.

Didn't really glean anything that wasn't already obvious. Seemed like there were a lot of bullet point lists just to lengthen page count...which is never a good thing
