Leading Quietly

Rating:
Summary: I guess if you're from Harvard you can write whatever...
Review: This is not a book for leaders. I'm not sure who this book is for. Mr. Badaracco seems to find many of the ordinary human aspects of business startlingly unique, and is pleased to guide us through these unique and unusual places. The problem is, anyone with half an ounce of common sense had Mr Badaracco's epiphany when they were 23. This is old hat. It's common sense.

My new goal in life is to somehow get associated with Harvard so I can churn out books stating the obvious and enjoy an avalanche of cash.

This book is silly. I'm so disappointed.

For an excellent book on leadership and management, check out "First Break all the Rules" by the Gallop people. Or connect the unconnectable and read "If you Want to Write" by Brenda Ueland. Either will get you much further along than "Leading Quietly."
