The book is just them going on and on about a simple idea that is explained at the end in a few lines and a grid. I like the suggested idea but the book is not to my liking
What a waste of a great title!
(Throwback Review) This book yet again proves that good things come in small packages. This is a small leadership book from the Harvard Business Review (HBR) describing the qualities that leaders should possess to keep them updated to bring out the best in them and their team.

Some might confused this book with Blue Ocean Strategy. There is nothing to do with it at all. The content of the book was based on the idea that the leader (front line, middle, and senior ) should be assessed by people around them to find the as-is situation.

Very disappointing Cannot believe I PAID for a one-page summary. Not worth it. HBR is usually great but this one fails miserably.
Quick read. Gives a good framework to improve employee engagement, productivity and motivation at organization level.
