Summary: A rehash mish-mash, very well done
Review: Basically, not a lot of new concepts in here.If you want the gist, it's How to Win Friends and Influence People, combined with Covey's Seven Habits for Highly Successful People, with a dash of Tom Peters thrown in for excitement. This is a well put-together book, though. There are interesting examples cited, and these ideas can not be emphasized enough -- across the spectrum. Girl Scout Troop Leaders need this book as much as CFOs and sales reps. All in all, worth a read.

Summary: Disappointing... it is a simple rehash
Review: Having twice completed the original "How to Win Friends and Influence People", I found 75% of this is a rehash. The other 25% was mostly modern anecdotes that support the original author's theories. I found little original material.

Summary: You'd better off reading How to Win Friends and Infl. People
Review: The Leader in You just takes the issues pointed out at How to Win Friends and Influence People and gives more updated examples related to the business world.
I really doens't add much value if you have read How to Win Friends... which, by the way, is much more fun and is better written.

Summary: Success in a Changing World
Review: The Leader in You: How to Win Friends, Influence People and Succeed in a Changing World by Stuart R. Levine and Michael A. Crom is, by all considerations, an excellent book. Following in the fashion of Dale Carnegie, Levine and Crom tell readers in a concise, straight-to-the-point manner the truth about leadership. This truth is that good leadership truly equals good communication.
Some of the key aspects to valuable communication skills resulting in effective and successful leadership are motivating people, expressing genuine interest in others, listening to learn, and respecting the dignity of others. In each chapter, Crom and Levine make extensive use of examples, usually coming by way of business success stories, or even excerpts from anecdotes of the lives of well-known individuals or important CEOs such as Denis Potvin of the New York Islanders hockey team, or Sam Walton, founder of Wal-Mart. Personally, I found these examples extremely helpful and motivating throughout the course of reading The Leader in You, for through them Crom and Levine show how the principles they tell the reader are effective, and truly are.
Furthermore, The Leader in You is a valuable read to anyone who seeks success both in his or her professional and personal lives, not just the business executive or the worker climbing his way up the corporate ladder. I found this to be the case because the tenets Levine and Crom give the reader really concern fostering lasting and trusting relationships with others, not just shortcuts to getting ahead in the company. I have learned valuable information and lessons about talking a walk in the other person's shoes, the importance of being personally happy before I can ever hope to be professionally successful, and what it truly means to be a good listener. This is a book that will have a lasting effect on many aspects of my life, and I would without a doubt recommend it to anyone, for there will undoubtedly be a takeaway for everyone in any walk of life.

Summary: the leader in you
Review: There is about a hundred references to Dale Carnegie in this book. First, you need to buy "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie. Or you will be very confused. Then you have to use the techniques and discover if this sort of product is for you. If it is, then buy "How to Stop Worrying and Start Living" by Dale Carnegie. Then try those techniques. If both these books are your cup of tea, then buy this book. It goes beyond these two books with plenty examples of Carnegie's tecniques for success in a more technological atmosphere. Goals are a big thing in this book. The one main criticism of this book is that it doesn't deal with character. What Stephen Covey, the management expert, calls "truncating the character base." This is based on the idea that you have to be a good guy and gal in order to succeed. This book does not deal with the moral structure of a leader. Positive thinking, goal imagery, ethusiasm -- these and other elements of leadership are dealt with. Lying and manipulation are not dealt with in any true fashion. Thank you.
