Fierce Leadership: A Bold Alternative to the Worst "Best" Practices of Business Today by Susan Scott
papi's review
2.0
Fierce Leadership seems to me to be, in large part, more about personal development and living a life consistent with your own most strongly-held values, than about leadership per se. It covers such topics as time management, the value of quitting, making and pursuing a life list, thinking backwards as a planning tool, gathering experiences rather than possessions, and so forth. There is little that I have not seen before from other writers, many of whom are more incisive and inspiring.
Fierce Leadership is far from the best book on leadership that I have read, but especially for someone just becoming interested in such things, it would be a decent investment of time. Though I have not yet read her book Fierce Conversations, which predates Fierce Leadership, I have the impression that much of what is found in Fierce Leadership is a review or extension of ideas and recommendations found in her first book. Thus, it might be better to read Fierce Conversations first, and then simply skim or spot read Fierce Leadership.
