The only thing that made my OLS 284 class worthwhile. Lots of good advice and tips from some of the leading bestsellers.

You know, this was required reading for my graduate dynamics of leadership class. I loath textbook reading, but found this one quite enjoyable. Had some great stories.

Kind of a slog for me.
