A review by dgignac
A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership by James Comey
4.0
I found the beginning of this book a bit hard to get into, but once I did, it was a very quick read. I’m not one for American politics, but still found this book interesting and enlightening. Although Comey preached quite a bit about honesty and ethical behaviour, I still had many takeaways and things I think about regarding leadership, such as the following:
“We should teach that great leaders are (1) people of integrity and decency; (2) confident enough to be humble; (3) both kind and tough; (4) transparent; and (5) award that we all seek meaning in work. We would also teach them that (6) what they say is important, but what they do is far more important, because their people are always watching them.”
