The 60 Second Leader: Everything You Need to Know About Leadership, in 60 Second Bites

by Phil Dourado

This book is the distillation of 30 essential elements of leadership into 60 second digestible chapters. There are also 30 true 60 Second Leader Tales in between the chapters to help bring some of the leader leraning points to life. PRAISE FOR THE 60 SECOND LEADER "A good prescription for all of us! Hope the book does well." Guy Kawasaki, Garage.com. Author, Rules for Revolutionaries and The Art of The Start "I was very impressed. I approached it as a cynic, thinking it was going to be one of those 'MBA in a day' things. But, I enjoyed it. It's very well put together." Steve Parks, CEO, The Red Group "Well done on your refreshing approach to leadership. I recommended your book to a large conference yesterday. Keep going - this world needs people like you." David Taylor, Author, The Naked Leader "The book is great. I'm really enjoying reading it; very informative, easy to read and a bit irreverent which I really like. I will recommend it to all my friends. It deserves a wide readership!" Jon Harding, Senior HR Manager in charge of Leadership Development, Intercontinental Hotels Group

Reviews

[James · Rating 3 out of 5]

Filled with stories of leadership and examples for thought, this is one of the better leadership books that have ended up on my desk. The book reads like a solid discussion punctuated by stories, sources, and citations. It is a quick read and in such may be its weakness. It is referred to on its back cover as a reference work, something to go back to for review and clarification - and that is fair enough.

A solid and focused book for those leading, managing, and/or working in any environment which needs forward thinking, adjustment, and a culture capable of acknowledging failure as opportunity for growth.

الكتاب يتحدث عن استراتيجيات وقصص لتطبيقها للمختصين
والعاملين بمؤسسات ومناصب إدارية
لن يفيدك إن لم تكن منهم.

[Milan Lukac]

Very inspirational, one of the "get back to this every couple of years" candidates.

The very best leadership book I have read in a long, long time. Dourado is humorous, persuasive, and pretty stinkin' smart. This book's bite-sized chapters made it easy, but its relevant, approachable content made it a joy. This one's a keeper; I've already ordered my hardcover edition.
