I've read a lot of books on leadership. This one covers similar topics as others, but if you are the kind of reader who likes to hear another persons perspective of a subject then the book will complement your library. If you are new to leadership as a subject, then by all means this book will help you.
All the best.

This is a good introductory book into the principles and practice of leadership. It teaches about the leadership skills that are critical in today's highly dynamic operating environment where change is the only constant. In this case, it is essential to have leaders (rather than managers) who can provide the vision for the organization, show the direction and motivate people towards the realization of the vision.
The author clearly explains the critical attributes of a leader which include team building, good communication skills, decision making ability, and the ability to motivate and coach others for the effective accomplishment of goals.
The book is a good investment for those who in leadership positions, particularly those who are at the beginning of their careers in this field without much experience or previous training. The author gives useful tips which are excellent guide readers. The checklist at the end of each chapter is a useful tool to reinforce what the reader would have studied in the text.

I found this book only provides common sense stuff, not very insightful. There are numerous grammatical errors throughout this book.
