Segunda parte (publicada algunos años después) de la recopilación de lecturas seleccionadas sobre liderazgo por HBS. Algunos artículos bastante buenos y otros, pues no tanto (particularmente uno sobre un estudio en 2 empresas: algo bastante acotado como para extrapolarlo. En la gran mayoría de ellos se encuentran ideas útiles y oportunas, muchas de sentido común, pero que siempre es relevante volver a revisar de tanto en tanto.

Compared to Vol. 1, this volume is more about 'how'? The book reminds leaders to communicate, collaborate and be authentic. My favorite chapter is "The Focused Leader" by Daniel Goleman. It reminds me of humble and self-awareness - something that has been long emphasized by Kazuo Inamori; empathy and seeing through what is going on around the world - again something that has been highlighted by strategic leaders such as Steve Jobs and Lei Jun.

Worth it even if just for the Daniel Goldman article on The Focused Leader. Favourite quote regarding self-awareness is “to be authentic is to be the same person to others as you are to yourself”. Also like the article on “both/and” rather than “either/or” where multiple, often inconsistent, ideas, beliefs and identities are encouraged.

[Jannie van Schalkwyk · Rating 3 out of 5]

The articles in this volume have been fairly average for me, with the exception of the bonus article "The Focused Leader" by Daniel Goleman, which stood out.
