I found this book very useful and consider it excellent. It analyzes human interactions in context of how much respect is involved. It presents a convincing (at least to me) case that communication between humans need to be respectful. If there is not respect, then nothing of lasting value can be built.

I had high hopes when I read the preview of this book, and our work team decided to read it together. but it went downhill after a few pages. The author injected his own version of disrespect and intolerance as he gave his own personal opinions on everything from politics to sexism. The only expertise this author displayed in his work was his ability to state what other real experts in the field of neuro-leadership have already worked to uncover and report. Nothing we read made our team feel more loyal or productive. Don't waste your time, chances are you have already read anything worthwhile in it before in other, meatier books. All else in this book is useless personal and very bias opinions by the non professional author.

While a unique approach to implementing change in an organization, the use of “Science of Neuroleadership” was not fully explored beyond some impressive vocabulary but not a lot of supportive information. The change management information—the four gates in the blueprint for change—were valuable but really nothing not already discussed much more in depth in other books in the genre. Overall, if a reader needs a quick read that introduces some change management ideas, this book will do.

I wish it could be more expansive on parts.

1.5/5 Stars
This book, which had so many important issues to bring to the forefront of the corporate world, fell very short to me and I must admit that I was thoroughly disappointed. Unfortunately, the author chose to go off on both political and social rants (biased in presentation) that were totally inappropriate to the business world. He clearly has a grasp on the dangers of disrespect to a work environment. I am not sure why he chose to go off on tangents related to Fox News (of course), Congress (Republicans only), a diversity director's PERSONAL racist event (outside the corporate setting). Could he not find enough examples inside the corporate world because I am sure people would be lining up to tell him their stories? There were other examples, but I am sure any reader of this review will get the gist. It came off as very unprofessional for a business book.
I can't reiterate enough times, how disappointed I am in this book. This book, outside those incidents, would easily have been a 5 star review from me had he chosen not to divert to examples outside the corporate world OR chosen to write how societal disrespect carries over to the workplace.

The book started better than it ended. Despite occasional mentions of neuroscience concepts, the book was simply written and easy to understand. Ironically, readers may make quick judgements about the author who provides personal stories throughout the book that mention his lifestyle, background/religion, etc., despite his mention of respecting the world's diversity and to jumping to preconceived notions. It's a quick read. While I enjoyed the bonus of highlighted quotes from individuals like Bill Gates and Margaret Mead, I did not think the few graphics sprinkled through the book added a great deal of value.
