I won this book through Goodreads and any opinion expressed herein is mine. I read this book over the course of a few months during my free time and found this book to be so full of great information and ideas. From the interviews of not so famous persons who are much like everyday people who have made good career choices to those who have forged ahead as leaders in their fields. I enjoyed reading this book for it's insight and knowledge. The information is a little bit of a sensory overload if

Pretty basic but encouraging outline of the creative direction of leadership in the current age
What a breath of fresh air. After so many books on leadership re-hashing the same old model, The Rise of the DEO speaks of leadership that can move and influence in ways that are changing the world. This book speaks of ways to lead a group that can grow and respond in our ever changing world, a leader that allows others to bring more of themselves to the table and help them become great leaders themselves.
A very weak leadership book, pandering to designer's fragile self-esteem.
The book talks about general qualities of modern leaders but paints those qualities as something unique to designers. As a designer and leader I was very disappointed in the book. I found the insight thin and basically pandering to the ego of the designer as if they were truly unique. The truth is great leaders possess all of these skills even when their background has nothing to do with design.

I went to see Maria Giudice and Christopher Reynolds speak on a whim. They've articulated what I've hoped was possible and have created companies and careers around design that I envy. I enjoyed both seeing them speak together and getting to go behind-the-scenes with this book to make design driven leadership more commonplace.

Easily digestible book from veteran design thinkers. Reading it was like a salve to this itchy rash you get working with people that rub you wrong, like steel wool.
Quick, easy read with a lot of actionable advice for becoming a design leader.
I discovered multiple great leadership takeaways from this book that I plan to implement into my career, especially for those in high tech industry.
One of the best design leadership books I've read!
