As a former executive and current coach I loved this book and found many of the lessons impactful and meaningful. Jacob tells these in an easy to read way through stories about his experiences, and many of the leadership lessons are powerful and universal. A must read for any aspiring or existing leader.
Thanks for sharing , thought it was excellent again! Third time I've read this book.. I recommend it, as the author wants the reader to look at her or himself, from a place of honesty.. and that's a reminder I think I can never get enough of!!!
