This book is incredibly narrow sighted and trite. Conversations around "crucibles" and authenticity are offensively ignorant in the context used. His appropriation of PTSD and the gross notion of post-traumatic growth is distasteful and misguided at best. Everything else in the book is bland and no helpful. Not much contribution to the already lackluster literature of leadership.

Helpful anecdotes and business insights built around a handbook for authentic leadership.
Solid chapter summaries, navigation guidance and Index for just browsing through the book

Read as part of post cert program. Overall, not a bad book but the antidotal stories make the book too long. If you’re doing a deep dive into the study of leadership, this is not a bad start.
I did bookmark some helpful hints for future reference.

I read this for a work book club and found it truly valuable. Finding your North Star, living by your values, and being your authentic self are admonitions in many leadership books but this one uses stories of leaders and their lives to illustrate the author’s points- a very effective way to tell the story and present leadership lessons in a novel manner

I learned a lot more from this book by comparing it to my own leadership journey. Having the fieldbook to this book reinforced a lot of reflection and reinforcement for myself, so I definitely suggest having the fieldbook when reading this book!

Meh. You can get the meat of this book in the first two chapters. Lots of stories from corporate America in the 80s and 90s. A little dated.
I do think the introduction and the first chapter were worth the read though.
