The book covers the subject of leadership in a very broad-based manner. The various aspects of the subject are categorized alphabetically using all the letters from A through Z.
My personal most memorable takeaways from the book are:
- The "onion" model of identity-value-personality-behaviour as a fair and just reward system for different individuals who have different values;
- Justice of work distribution.
The strength of the book is that it can compress the myriad aspects in a very compact book that takes a casual reader three hours to complete; and, a more serious learner between 4 to 6 hours.
Readers may deep dive further into some of the specific aspects covered by zooming into books specialize on these topics such as conflict management which the book, Radical Candor, is the next book in my reading queue.

The A-Z of empowering your team
This was a really good read. It was written in quite a light manner, but on very serious topic. I have taken a lot from here, some personal and sights on my own behaviours, some ideas for my colleagues and the brilliantly simple A-Z checklist at the end of the book. Great stuff! Thanks!
