Review

"I found the book exceptionally readable and easy to relate to personal practice and behaviours. It encourages the reader to ponder and consider possible alternative ways of engaging the team and improving the business. It is a great read and I would recommend it to both new leaders and those with more experience."

5.0 out of 5 stars An essential part of your leadership development toolkit
Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2014
Marianne Abib Pech has provided a practical guide to leadership which is highly readable and packed with useful insights and anecdotes. The distinction between different leadership scenarios and different styles of leadership were particularly useful - I hadn't previously considered the concept of a 'leader of leaders'. I recommend this book as part of any company's management development tool kit, especially for that cadre of up and coming 'future leaders' whose natural talent now needs to be augmented by critical self-awareness and personal career development.

Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2013
This book is a goldmine when it comes to everyday advice in how to improve your leadership skills. It is to be read piece by piece as you go along with what I would call a true journey towards being a better leader.
I was very lucky to hear the author speak on multiple occasions and even attend a training by Marianne. I would strongly recommend both the book but also the author as a speaker.

This book is excellent to start you thinking about how different we all are and how this impacts business and management.

It is about Leadership plain and simple, and enables you to get to know yourself to really understand what you can do to develop in order to become a better leader. A never ending challenge indeed!

Very useful and down to earth.

Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2013
This book is full of good advice; I found it an insightful read which has caused me to reflect on my own practice. Definitely worth a read whatever level of leadership you are at, and (I believe) relevant to leadership outside the business sector.

I am usually bored by management book but this one is not of that kind: well structured and carefully thought, it enables everyone to improve oneself, which means to understand its own strengths and weaknesses and then to use the practical tips to become a better leader.
I used the techniques described in the book quite successfully so I am very pleased I bought this FT guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars Food for old dogs.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 5, 2013
Verified Purchase
I rarely read books on leadership these days. Not because I'm disinterested in the topic - goodness no. My reticence is simply that I consider myself the finished product. Nearly 40 years of working and my mindset is "what you see is what you get" and "no point in teaching the old dog new tricks" etc. But, how wrong can you be?! I've found Marianne's book to be a rare and fascinating mix of practicality and good old-fashioned lessons to be practiced and honed; along with some lovely philosophical interludes allowing reflection and new thought. I only wish it had been around decades earlier! Buy it for anyone in their first leadership role, anyone who considers themself an old dog, and everyone you know in between.

4.0 out of 5 stars Expensive but worth it. Could be an issue if you are medium/large!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 7, 2017
Verified Purchase
I think this item was expensive but I do like it a lot. I sleep on silk pillowcases at home for dry hair and skin anti-aging purposes. I really liked sleeping in it for my South America trip. I'm tiny-a UK size 6 and 5'4" tall. Even for me there was a certain technique to get in and out without tearing it. Anyone larger would have more difficulty. I don't like my feet enclose so I undid the stitching at the bottom and renewed it so I have an escape route! Overall I am happy with it and will take it on all of my travels long and short so I don't have to sleep directly on dirty sheets.

I am currently reading this and cannot say enough how good it is. There are small nuggets of information that really stick with you and motivate you to be your best. I would recommend this to any leader or wannabe one. It is a really good book with practical advice and examples from past and present.
