Summary: Great points lost in a black-hole
Date: 2008-11-17 - 
Comment: The principles outlined in this book are positive, however, they are lost in excessive narrative. The text drags on and on about the 5 areas. You read one insightful sentence and its followed by 6 pages of stories that attempt to affirm the original point. The actionable material that others speak of include; find your voice, envision the future, seek innovative ways to change, build trust, celebrate values. All good stuff--don't get me wrong here, I just ask, "Where's the beef?" Could have been <50 pages.
Summary: Great Leadership Book
Date: 2008-10-30 - 
Comment: My coworker recommended this book to me, and it's one of the best leadership/management books I've ever read. There's great practical advice and teaches you how to treat your staff, coworkers, managers like human beings while still being an effective leader. I highly recommend this book for people entering the work force and first-time managers or managers who need a new perspective.
Summary: Leadership in Business
Date: 2008-09-19 - 
Comment: I gave this book four stars because it is well written and very readable, but it is really designed for people interested in business and working in corporations; something I did not realize before I started. I feel like the chapters were a little wordy, but the "summaries" at the end of the chapter are nice.

Summary: 10 pages of information stretched to 400
Date: 2008-08-31 -
Comment: I am convinced that Jossey Bass will publish anything. I don't necessarily disagree with the material, however, it would make a better magazine article rather than a 400-page book. The authors go to an embarassing extreme in order to stretch the material out. See how I just used two sentences to make a single point? Annoying, right? This book uses pages and pages to illustrate rather pedestrian concepts. Ugggh!
