What it means to grow as a leader

I am grateful for another helpful book by Ken Blanchard and team on becoming a leader. I love the story format, even though they are a bit shallow at times. It gives the reader the opportunity to become part of the storyline. I'll be reading the book again as well as recommending it to others.

I don't know how he does all those voices but I really enjoyed the way he read this.
It is making a difference for me at work.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

both

Good story but not for a single performer.

The story itself was very inspirational but it sounded awkward with only one male reader.

Great Practice for Great Leaders

The practice you are taught through this story is amazing and will ensure your continue to grow and develop as a leader.

what a audiobook

excellent audio book on leadership that can apply to the newly hired all the way to the seasoned employee.

encouraging

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

This book has many parts to it, with different speakers. It is not a book to listen to all in one sitting. I found that I needed time to absorb what each speaker discussed.

Any additional comments?

I really enjoyed this book, I felt each speaker had so much to present that can be used in my life, at work or daily living. I am glad that I purchased this.

Great leadership book.

I listen to this book twice to finally get it. Not because it was difficult but because the 1st time I just went through the motion and barely remembered the key points. The 2nd time I was more committed to learn and grow. So I took notes, stopped the audio and replayed it to take notes. As I did that it helped me internalize the advices and self evaluate to see where I was as a leader and what I needed to work on to grow. Great book and it wasn't too lenghty.
