Rather worthless
Author goes on and on about the most basic ideas, and recommends the most generic books. Yes your right 7 habits of highly effective people is solid, but its not going to make you CEO. Save you self time and money and watch 10 random YouTube videos on leadership.

Succinct and straightforward. Yeargin's lived it and spells it out for you.

Very easy book to read outlining principles of being a leader. Also does a tremendous job of providing other books and authors that materially impacted Yeargin’s thoughts on leadership.
