Thoughts:  Didn’t love the physical format of such a heavy book with such thick pages, but once I let all that go and just read the material I liked the format and real life examples. Felt physically like a textbook, and read like one at some points, but I still flagged a lot of pages with ideas, concepts, quotes etc. 

Format: 📖

Very repetitive and dry. Standard leadership principles you can find many other places but takes a roundabout way to deliver them. Falls more in the category of leadership theory than practical use. The endless quotes parroting the lessons make it even more repetitive and unreadable. Verbose diction and several editing errors as well as arguments made with false premises. Go with “Start with Why” by Sinek or “Extreme Ownership” by Jocko instead.

I had to read this stupid book for a seminar. Boring, cliched, gross - thank God I am not in the business world.
