Recommendation

This collection of essays from 21 contributors is inspiring reading for those who want to build their leadership talents or improve their companies. It is designed for good leaders, or for people who aspire to that rank and are open to being taught. Interestingly, the book also addresses how people can become better followers. Unlike many other books within this topic range, this anthology makes a distinction between leadership, which it sees as direction setting, and management, which it sees as somewhat more procedural. The essays are interesting, wide-ranging and practical. getAbstract finds that the 21 voices here have a unified mission: to explain why some people are better than others at getting attention, accomplishing specific tasks and providing their followers with a sense of meaning.

Take-Aways

  • Great leaders often are naturals who like what they do and, therefore, excel at it.
  • Leaders help people join forces to bring about positive results.
  • People follow leaders who make them feel significant, share their beliefs and generate excitement.
