Hard-hitting, Practical and Pithy Wisdom

I [usually] like it when authors read their own material because their passion for the story/topic typically comes through more clearly. Anderson's hard-hitting, practical advice is even more impacting because of his narrating. Most of the sections here are strong, but the material on building a healthy staff is exceptional. As one who's violated many of Dave's common-sense principles, I was grateful for the encouraging "I've-been-there-too" coaching tone. I've got this book on my "Read Yearly" list.

great read for leaders!

Both but why exactly what I need in at this point in my life. I was definitely favoring some people that I shouldn't be and I am ready to become a leader I need to be.

Job Interviews, Accountability, Building leaders,

Any additional comments?

Hiring leaders, team players, people that want to be with eagles not blend in with the turkeys.
How to find talent. Don't ask the same dull interview questions that don't tell you what kind of person your hiring. Tell me what your best features are?, begets a great canned answer.
Find people that bring something to the table.
This book cuts out the bull and gets you the thoroughbred.
