A friend recommended this one to me ages ago and I promised it would be the first book I picked up in 2026. It’s the second, but the first one was a bust at page 12, so likely this will be the first FULL and non-ebook I finish this year, lol.

Ugh. If being a leader means taking the blame when your underlings mess up, then I want to not be a leader, lol. I have some employees that seem to revel in screwing up. And they can’t be fired, soooooo stuck between a rock and a hard place. Bah.

Ok, FINALLY getting to the How of this book. Took a little too long to get there for my taste, but at least it’s started.

Very repetitious. I’m hoping it picks up, or I’m going to be re-naming the book “Extreme Boredom”.

“If an individual on the team is not performing at the level required for the team to succeed, the leader must train and mentor that underperformer. But if the (they) continually fails to meet standards,…cannot improve, the leader must make the tough call to terminate them…” For me to fire someone, I have to have a file inches thick on them. It takes YEARS and energy I can’t focus on my job. Not helpful.
