This isn’t your typical leadership book, in fact, it’s one of a kind. Each chapter reads like a conversation with a friend.

I have heard all this Rah-Rah junk before and I probably will hear it again. It didn't work then and it ain't gonna work now. So unless you are particularly susceptible to snake oil, forget this rehash!
To: The Ambitious, From: The Experienced: 26 Letters on Leadership by A. Jordan Fischette was a unique and easily digestible look at leadership. What I appreciated was that it explored leadership from so many angles. Each chapter was someone sharing a leadership lesson they'd learned along the way. What was especially great about this was that they weren't all from "business" or specific position titles. Rather these were the lessons that can come in everyday personal or professional experiences. Each reflection was written so authentically. I also appreciated that this was a short, quick read. It was a good burst of leadership energy as I was travelling, and it made me reflect on some of my own experiences, as well as glean some new perspective through the lessons shared.
