I rate it near the top of heap - with Warren Bennis' books on the same topic. Mar 16, Barbara Lovejoy rated it really liked it. Although the author had some great insights that I want to adopt in my leadership responsibilities, I felt that some parts of the book were somewhat boring and hard to follow. It is not my favorite book on leadership, but I am glad I read it. Sep 11, Stephanie rated it liked it Shelves: I enjoyed this book to an extent - in fact, I wrote a paper about it.

However, there are so many golf and sport metaphors, it's clearly written for a middle-aged white male.
