Ratings and reviews

Another great book from an author I respect. John brings out the leader in us by connecting and reflecting so we can see who we can become. Great style and effective.

Great book. This the very first book I ever finished reading. The insights John gives along with his examples work right from the beginning.

Just some simple reflections. I was expecting more detailed examples or experiences.
