Ratings and reviews

This book is simple and practical. For those who speak English as a second language can be a brilliant source for self-improvement. Less theory and new data that is actual today makes it fascinating.

This leadership book is very recommended. It is learnt how to be a good leader in every position of a organization. So, start learning leading from now and get yourself better than before.

We often think that we need to learn leadership skill when we reach the leadership level. It is not correct. We need to learn the leadership skill so that we can reach the leadership level. Love this book a lot.
