Just finished this today. Good book. I like the way it discusses a situation at the beginning of a section, gives you an opportunity ot think baout it and then at the end of the section lets you know how the corresponding CEO would've handled things.

Probably the least insightful of the 4 books for my visionary leadership class, but still a good example of integrity. I like that the author uses well-known CEOs and puts a different kind of spotlight on them.

This book was required reading for a course I am taking. It was okay. The book is very simplistic.
