[Michael Cochran · Rating 3 out of 5]

A very uneven book filled with good leadership tidbits and bad eisigesis. Read it for the nuggets of wisdom but honestly there are probably better books out there on the topic.

[Ike Unger · Rating 1 out of 5]

Just never really figured out where this book was going? Had to read it for a course I'm taking.

[Isaac · Rating 5 out of 5]

Practical, simple, and still relevant for today's leaders. Really enjoyed reading this book and gleaned much.
