"Excellent material. Very well structured and has all the new ideas and approaches for leadership and management. It defines both concepts with good examples and makes it easy to understand the difference between leadership and management.
Why 3 stars and not 5? The book was a little long winded for my taste. Admittedly, I was reading this book as an assignment in a business strategy class, and therefore, not of my own volition; that being said, perhaps reading this book felt like more of a homework assignment (and therefore a chore) than a privilege.
I don't know if I'd recommend this book to everyone, but it was excellent. I still make conversion with co-workers and friends based on some the ideas presented in this book."
"In the arena of work life, Marcus says don't bother AT ALL on working on your weaknesses, work on your strengths instead. That's got more bang for the buck. The job of the manager is to capitalize on what their subordinate is uniquely talented at, and to put them to work in their area of strength. This is a bit distinct from (but complementary to) the job of the leader, who instead needs to provide a common and clear direction, and focus and mission for everyone."
"Although I bought this for my then highly successful, business-woman girlfriend, I decided to peruse the pages myself. Buckingham is the master of business books, and I've discovered that many of them grace the syllabi of classes in MBA programs at Harvard. Not that Harvard is the be-all-end-all of what's going to help someone or what a good "business self-help book" is, but I have to give them some credence. This book is part of a series, all of which is good, from the perspective of both a psychology graduate student and a "climbing-the-ranks," successful businesswoman. Very substantive, doesn't offer pithy, overly-obvious advice, but actually touches upon issues that are of meaning. Although these books are often aimed and consumed by the business crowd, we all have careers (hopefully, someday...), and are just as benefited by good advice in this area as some sales persons are by books on psychology and such. And most importantly - it's not boring! Liked it; like all his stuff."
