Why do so many leaders fail? And how can you succeed? The verdict is in... 192 leadership books, 9 top leadership experts, and 31 studies on business management reveal two startling facts. The first? Effective communication is essential to effective leadership. The second? $200,000 Ivy-League educations and $2,000 management courses neglect it. The disappointing result?

Despite this author's lack of life experience, tendency to repeat material over and over again in slightly different ways, and treatment of the specious theory of evolution as a fact; this is actually a great book to read and keep for reference. Whether you speak before packed auditoriums or never address a group larger than your coworkers at lunch, this book has speaking tips that really transcend public speaking and tie in to improving the quality of written products as well as your own persona. While I've made my reservations about some of Andrei's "whys" given in this book clear already, the techniques and recommendations he makes are solid. I highly recommend this book to anyone who seeks self-improvement and especially if they're in a leadership position (formal or informal). Also, I think this book would be both an appropriate and useful guide for teenage readers just as much as it is for adults.
