Good for up and coming leaders

This book is great for up and coming leaders. While this book wasn’t exactly what I was looking for at this point in my career, it did offer a few golden nuggets. This is the kind of book I wish in had read when I was younger. Something I will be recommending to young hopefuls.

Timeless truth for anyone looking to lead

Maxwell, delivers complex value propositions for leaders, but presents them in bite size pieces. Using these values will make any leader better.

How to die as middle management.

Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, Walmart; the authors examples of success and leadership. Coincidentally examples of people who believed standing on the heads of the worker was the way to success?
