Great Ideas for people in Leadership

Michael Briscians has given wonderful strategies and authentic ideas on how to manage our leadership roles with compassion and great wisdom. Michael writes from personal experiences and gives actual examples of how to have empathy and yet truthfulness in our fast growing economy with the people who we are managing. He shows how the latest solution and business is not always the greatest. He is a master on understanding human nature. This is a must read

Narrator must be AI…

The narrator pronounces normal words so wrong. Liaison, contribute, candor, requisite, chagrin… there are plenty others but I’m not remembering. Also the first half of the book talks basically only about hiring and firing.

Decent read if you are interested in suggestions

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. I found this book very interesting. It includes several tips for an "empathetic approach" for different leading situations. However, other than some good quotes on leadership and a couple of good examples of good leaders, I didn't find anything that "wowed" me. I was expecting more of the psychological side of empathy in leaders and groups in general and how this translates into success in an organization. I didn't feel like there was a theoretical foundation that would support the experiences shared. I felt it was more like a "suggestions and tips from my experience" type of books. I have to say that I have listened to a couple of books narrated by Matyas Job Gombos and he is the best. It doesn't matter the topic his narration can keep you listening.

Must read for all leaders.

Loved every word of this book. I could not put it down and finished it in one sitting.
