A must-read for any student of leadership

Revisado: 10-06-22

I've listened to 48 books since December 2021 on topics associated with leadership, and this is a book I feel is worth reading if you only had to read 1 or 2 books on leadership to truly grasp the fundamental concepts of understanding leadership.

Great book for those dealing w/ toxic people

Revisado: 08-20-22

I will say that the author does go into detail about dealing specifically with toxic family members and partners (which didn't really speak to me, as this was not what I was reading the book for), but the material was still good, and overall the book had good information in helping identify toxic behavior and how to confront it. Additionally, the author also gives advice in self-care to help readers with healing from toxic people.

A "diamond in the rough" among leadership books

Revisado: 08-17-22

I've read over 2 dozen books over the last 8 months on the topics of leadership, trust, communication, coaching, and mentoring. I stumbled across this book as a suggestion from Audible from the other books I had previously selected.

I figured it would be a beneficial book to read; however, I was unprepared for it to be such an insightful spotlight on an oft-overlooked aspect of modern leadership. If you enjoy leadership authors such as Sinek and Maxwell, you will appreciate the content of this book.

As an insatiable student of leadership, this book has easily found its way into my very small and exclusive collection of "favorite reads".

Another outstanding read from Simon Sinek

Revisado: 01-17-22

I read these out of order (not that there is a specific order), but this book very nicely complements Sinek's other leadership books, "Start With Why" and "The Infinite Game". While all of his books focus on the full spectrum of leadership topics, this one certainly emphasizes leadership as it relates to the people a leader wishes to influence. Moreover, Sinek dives even deeper into this book by expanding on how and why brain chemistry is affected by certain leadership behaviors and offers an explanation as to why certain positive or negative habits are expressed by others in response to individual and organizational leadership practices.

Good summary, basic overview of leadership

Revisado: 12-29-21

Adequate leadership primer. Good reminders for skilled leaders, but very general and basic concepts. Novices or those with no leadership background would benefit most from this book.

Insightful read for current and aspiring leaders!

Revisado: 12-28-21

In my continuous pursuit of being a more skillful and effective leader, I decided to expand my reading selection to include books on coaching. Little did I know that this book would contain exactly what I was seeking with regard to addressing what I knew was missing from my own organization's culture. I found many of the concepts in this book were things I already believed, but this book helped affirm my beliefs and gave me a deeper understanding which will enable me to communicate these concepts more effectively and practice them more deliberately with others in my organization.

Great resource and field reference guide for cops

Revisado: 12-26-21

Overall it was a good read and a valuable resource for officers who are looking for a readily-accessible field guide, as each legal topic is categorized and indexed for easy reference. My only complaint is none of the specific case laws are referenced in each topic. The narrator discusses the general summary of judicial precedence but stops short of actually citing the applicable case law that would allow readers to seek out and read further on such rulings to get a deeper understanding and greater context to certain cases.

A must-read for any leader (or aspiring one)

Revisado: 12-24-21

Simon Sinek perfectly identifies the what many organizations are lacking today, even in the 21st century. Simon distinguishes the differences between a finite and infinite mindset and empowers the reader with tools and methods by which to embody an infinite mindset in an effort to inspire organizational change toward aligning a culture's mindset with the infinite game nearly all organizations participate within. As an added bonus. Simon narrates his own book. This draws the reader in further and makes the audiobook an easy listen, because it is clear the author truly believes in the contents of his book, and his passion for this topic can be heard through the voice of his narration.
