A collection of essays that mostly just repeat your average self-help advice. Some are insightful, most are not.

Most/all of these essays were published at the turn of the millennium. Many of the findings and recommendations are still printing to leadership development two decades later.

Good points, wasn't wowed by anything in particular but I would recommend to any new managers out there to re-focus their efforts.

Keeping those professional skills sharp!
This, and I imagine the rest of the HBR series, is best consumed through print or digital, with the associated workshop/book materials. I listened to this on audio, and while it was well presented, I knew I was missing some element of the material being covered.
Lots of known info in here in learning, and how to change culture in the workplace to be accepting of learning. I'm glad there were many things I already practiced as a long-term manager that were addressed in this book *pats self on back, as well as good ideas to implement in the future.
