While I didn't necessarily enjoy the writing style, I felt that the book offered a good paradigm for developing successful leadership teams in organizational settings. While there is more that could be said about the topic, the material in this book is worth the time. I considered setting the book down after the first chapter, but I kept reading and am now glad that I did.

I recommend this book for those interested i developing strong teams for leading organizations.

"...So many leaders become leaders because of their own extraordinary competence as team members- they have always been the "star." The transition these people find so difficult is moving from seeing themselves as the star to seeing themselves as the leader whose job it is to make stars out of other people."

I somehow ended up with an autographed copy. Its required reading for MBA Students at The Cleveland State University, its a city University in Ohio. Bob fisher isn't bobby fisher the chess champ is he?

Ugh. I had to slog through this book. It was assigned to us by my boss. It is a tough read. Dated and boring. I am not necessarily saying that the information is bad - it's just a little stale.
