Summary: Summary: Hands-On Leadership Tool-kit
Review: While numerous books on leadership are released every year, most are too vague to be effective in helping the reader implement the recommended practices (i.e., usually broad, too academic, or merely describing behaviors of leaders)."The Feiner Points" is exceptional BECAUSE it describes exactly which actions and activities one can undertake towards becoming a better leader. The author, Michael Feiner, takes a hands-on approach and attempts to answer the reader's question: "what can I do today?" to become a better leader. Feiner uses tangible functional "Laws" throughout the book that are simple and memorable, and thus easy to apply. In my view, the Laws immediately help any professional become a stronger leader and better people manager. (Note: The concepts in the book can be applied at various stages of one's career, not just at the executive or junior executive level.) I personally think the book is effective because the author has taken the viewpoint of a lifelong career and leadership "coach." This differs from other books by famous leaders, whose advice I have often felt is only applicable to someone of their particular personality. Feiner, having seen and worked with a variety of leadership styles, recognizes this and effectively conveys ideas that work for many different personality types. Overall, the book is simple, straight-to-the-point, and easy to apply... highly recommended!!

Summary: The Principles that Enable Success in Leadership and Life...
Review: With clarity, courage and conviction, this book delivers a message conveying the "whats" and, more importantly, the "hows" to successful leadership that enable individual, team, and company performance to grow and succeed. In short, Feiner guides leaders to put the heart and humanity back into business and in doing so, awakens the soul of business - yielding an environment that is embraced mutually and faithfully by peers, subordinates, bosses, and the total organization.
"The Feiner Points of Leadership" is the story of a man's extraordinary career, where past failures have in turn drawn enlightenment, as he builds a leadership model that all leaders and managers "must" understand, follow and instill throughout their organization to obtain competitive advantage.
Feiner guides the reader into becoming a "High Performance Leader," which will drive unprecedented and unlimited success in business - and in life! A must read.
