Summary: Excellent.
Review: Unlike most business books, Lessons from the Top is fun to read AND offers practical, insightful, thoughts on great leadership. It draws powerful stories from great leaders but unlike many anecdotal business books, Neff and Citrin collect their stories from a group that they have not picked at random, but based on an analytical framework.Each of the chapters is like sipping coffee with a business leader for a few hours- each page a glimpse of which paths these leaders have taken and the combination of personality skills that have contributed to their tremendous success. After all of these great insights, Neff and Citrin then outline the lessons they learned (and the reader does too!) in a powerful way, delineating many of the traits these leaders have in common. Some of these findings be quite surprising! In sum, this book is fantastic. You won't put it down until you have finished it and when you do, you will feel like you could call any of the leaders by their first name AND use the "lessons learned" to practically aspire to join this list!
