If you want to earn respect, inspire your team, and grow into the leader people love to follow, this is a must-listen.

Good but not perfect

This book is packed with great material... things that honestly every manager or aspiring leader should think about. Each trait is explored well, and you can tell the author cares about giving real insight, not just fluf.. . however... the structure felt off. Chapters felt kind of disconnected—like a collection of mini-lessons rather than a cohesive journey. I was sorta expecting a thesis-problem-conclusion kind of vibe or a more scientific throughline, and this didn’t really have that. Leadership is in the title, and yeah, it’s in there, but not always woven directly into the fabric of each chapter. Sometimes it just felt like great advice... but not always leadership advice. Also, the book comes out swinging with big names and while that might work for some, for me it was a bit much. I’d rather ease into examples than get smacked in the face with them. still very good... not perfect
