Excellent book. Thank you all again for your dedication and training. Whenever I start to lose focus in life, I remember to turn on one of these tapes. Next thing you know, I'm making money, reading my Bible, and succeeding in life to the Lord's perfect will!

King of positive thinking

This audiobook is dated, but contains great information that is highly relevant today. He teaches, motivates, and inspires not only to be successful in sales but in life.

Shouldn't their be a PDF accompaniment?

Any additional comments?

He often references handouts and supplementary materials that are "included". I understand this is a compilation of past programs, but it loses a lot of value when we are not able to reference these materials.

Maybe not for my demographic

I tried so hard to like this, I really did. Too many people have said nice things about Zig Ziglar for me to have not been tempted to try one of his books. I opted for this audiobook.

Where do I begin? He has a heavy 'southern priest' style of talking that's somewhat condescending and very old fashioned. I found it difficult to keep focused, and this wasn't helped by his frequent attempts at humor with his audience. Bad, bad grandfather humor. This all intertwined with inappropriate religious references and shamelessly feeding on the crowd for affirmation of the points he's making.

Despite the material originating from pre-Internet days, I'm sure he has lots of good things to say but I simply cannot bring myself beyond his old world delivery and style.

Some good stuff, but repetitive

What did you like best about Zig Ziglar’s Leadership & Success Series? What did you like least?

Zig has a lot of good points to make and does so with humor and stories. Unfortunately, this audiobook is a collection of recordings from a variety of souces and it is quite repetitive. It got tiresome to hear the exact same stories and the same jokes told multiple times. The repeated stories should have been edited out.

If you’ve listened to books by Made for Success and Zig Ziglar before, how does this one compare?

Where it's not repetitive, it's pretty good. I would say also that the subject matter is often not about leadership, or it's a force fit to make the matter about leadership.

What aspect of Zig Ziglar’s performance would you have changed?

I liked the energy of the live recordings; the studio interviews are not as strong.

Did Zig Ziglar’s Leadership & Success Series inspire you to do anything?

It was a good refresher on certain aspects about being successful.
