Leadership you can apply

I read No Feet In Concrete six months ago and I have found that the leadership principles articulated in the book work when applied. I also enjoyed the book because it was an interesting and engaing read that kept my interest and made me want to keep reading - even after a long day of managing employees!After reading the book and applying the principles of entrepreneurial leadership, I realized that I often was trying to fit certain people into roles they were not suited, including myself. What I needed to do was set the vision and the expectation, not manage the person or the task. There is a real sense of freedom and energy you get when you realize this.When I focused on the leadership essentials mentioned in the book, I found I was much more productive and happy in general. In the end, the principles I applied forced me to be truly honest with myself and to focus like a laserbeam on the bigger vision that I wanted to achieve. This book is a great read for individuals who are serious about personal and corporate growth. Go for it - read it today.

Establish a great entrepreneurial leadership foundation!

Dr. Boogaert's book is a must for developing an entrepreneurial leadership model, especially if you are a young entrepreneur getting ready to hire and manage for the first time. I had the pleasure of meeting him at his book signing in Fresno. He is sincere and fun in his approaches to help people mangage more effectively. All young entrepreneurs should own a copy!
