Simply The Best

This book is simply the finest book on leadership I have ever had the pleasure to read. Simple, clear, consise. Plenty of practical examples. The final chapter is very powerfully and brings it all together. Read this and have a huge step up in understanding the dynamics of leadership and observing and diagnosing successes and failures in most any organizatioon. Apply the laws for yourself and be ahead of your peers in becoming a mature and effective leader.

the stuff of heroes: the eight universal laws of leadership

I had to read this book for a class that I took while working on my master's degree. I found it easy to read and took all the lessons to heart. I am in the Army National Guard and was attending officer candidate school at the same time. I feel that it helped me become a more effective leader, both in the military and business world.

About Time!

An excellent book on leadership ... so much of which is missing in today's workplace. Not only were the author's 8 points outstanding, but he gave clear cut examples of how they have been implemented in the military as well as in business. I will paste the 8 points on my desk at work to review them regularly to remind myself of what I need to do to lead my IS team. I have three more books on leadership that I bought, but I have no need to read them now! ANYONE will enjoy this book. Definately worth the money

Excellent reminder of how we all should lead and manage

This is a great, practical book full of examples that inspire and educate the reader on the "right" way to conduct business and lead people. There are many business books out there, but none with the far reaching implications on all aspects of life that "Stuff of Heroes" touches on. Highly recommended regardless of your age or experience.
