Leadership perspective from a myriad of levles

My greatest comment is, finally. This material is a must for all in leadership/managerial positions. Very easy reading and quite difficult to put down. You can actually feel where the author is coming from through his true to life experiences, combat and peace time. Leadership that was developed from many different levels. Definately not a book filled with fancy quotes but a true training tool. I would suggest it to be mandatory reading at all levels of leadership. You will be surprised what is caught not taught. This is THE book.

Finally! An entertaining book on Leadership

What an entertaining book! Spencer Campbell is the "Dr. Phil" on leadership. Down to earth, full of personal experiences based on a life that makes Hollywood seem dull, this book addresses many of the questions all of us have asked ourselves at one time or another. Ever had a boss whom you just shook your head and wondered how in the world did he/she get in that position? Chap 2 addresses those questions. At the end of each chapter the author summarizes his key points. Plain speaking, this book is very easy to read. It should be required reading in all military schools and ROTC classes or for that matter any class that focuses on leadership. We are giving this book as a graduation present to young adults who are about to begin their professional lives.

Leadership at it's best

I'm an Instructor in a Military leadership school and this book makes a difference. This book should be on every leaders desk! He is a proven leader of Soldiers and students no one is more dedicated to his people. This book goes over every angle of leadership and you still get it! Great reading for all levels of leadership, buy it read it and live it and you too will succeed.

Easy read and straight to the point

This is THE book to have on your shelf so you can keep referring back to it. It is an easy read full of great information. I've worked (still do, the truth be known) for too many so called "Leaders" that should have read this book!!

Leadership (A Comprehensive Guide to Understanding and Devel

This book has been extremely helpful to the performance of my duties. I am currently employed on four (4) jobs. My position on each of the four jobs is in management and training. The information I have received from the knowledge, experience and training from the author Spencer J. Campbell, Ph.D.,M.S.W. has strengthened my skills as a manager and leader. The book has inspired me to achieve higher standards for myself. The author has helped me to convert my leadership behavior to be charismatic. The strategies for conducting meetings the author shares with us, helped me to develope more organized, focused and accomplished meeting. I now understand what the author means when he writes "Leadership a Journey, Not a destination." I am very interested in finding more works by Spencer J. Campbell, Ph.D. M.S.W.. This book should be offered to management seminars, ROTC, OCS/NCO courses and in Masters of Public Administration courses.
