Summary: Presence?
Date: 2008-06-18 - 
Comment: I had read individual books by these authors and I was hoping for a cumulative effect. I was a bit let down. I expected the insights to be a bit deeper and profound, something along the lines of- "Synchronicity: The Inner Path of Leadership by Joseph Jaworski, Betty Sue Flowers, and Peter M Senge" or "Leadership and the New Science: Discovering Order in a Chaotic World by Margaret J Wheatley"
Summary: MUST READ for all CEO/MANAGERS
Date: 2008-05-06 - 
Comment: This is the best most comprhensible book on the future of business and evolution I have ever read. I can not explain in words how this book has changed my life and the way I am compeled to make a diffirence in the world... I feel this book is the power of now meets donald trump.... times 100... if you want to make a diffirence in something you do or somewhere you work you must read this book.
Summary: The Key To Success
Date: 2008-03-07 -
Comment: As CEO Coach, Poet and author of a leadership book that helps leaders unleash the genius of themselves and their business, I strongly recomend this book. Presence describes what many of us have know and used for years the credibility of the thought leaders of our day. Thank you Peter.

Summary: Great Stuff But Too Technical
Date: 2008-02-08 - 
Comment: "Presence", as advertised, is indeed profound; but as a read is a very dense loaf. It seems more written for the change expert--who probably doesn't need to read it--than for those of us who put our shoes on one at a time. Dust off your thinking cap before you read this book; 'cause you are going to need it!
Summary: Sadly disappointing; self absorbed
Date: 2007-12-23 -
Comment: These are world class authors, each impressive, so this book held great promise. What a disappointment. I'm actually saddened to have read it because I've lost some respect for each of them. What could motivate this group of people to write in such an ego-centric, ill-disciplined and poorly referenced way? I can only imagine it was the clash of egos that allowed this book to sink to its lowest common denominator so often.
Yes, as other reviewers have said, there are nuggets here. The topic itself is profoundly important. So all the sadder that the message has been diluted, or perhaps polluted, in its delivery. Can do better...
