by PAUL HERSEY JEFFREY GITOMER, Paul Hersey

About the Book: The Little Book of Leadership The next book in the successful Jeffrey Gitomer "Little Book" Series challenges leaders to evaluate their abilities and resiliency in order to fully understand what actions and improvements need to be made in their skills. The Little Book of Leadership creates a new opportunity for people seeking to achieve, win, and succeed regardless of their title, status, place of employment, or experience. It challenges the reader to evaluate every real world facet of their leadership ability in order to fully understand what actions and improvements need to be made in their skills. The Little Book of Leadership transcends theory and philosophy, and gets right down to brass tactics.

This isn’t a book - it’s a 200-page listicle. It’s too disjointed to absorb any useful tidbits. It’s often contradictory (“here is the one key to leadership” and then later “there’s no one key - here are 22 keys to being a leader”). There are too many sentences in all caps, italics, and different fonts.

Contiene buenos principios; pero al menos para mi, no todos son útiles.

Y además de llamarse el "pequeño libro", considero que el autor se fue por las ramas en varias partes del libro, especialmente al final.

Pero como dije, contiene unos principios que son buenos.

Queda a tu elección leer este libro o saltartelo, al final, no pierdes mucho.

A lot of actionable points that I will absolutely reference back to. That said, it was a little difficult to absorb because so many quick points were brought up, moved on, and then sometimes referred back to later, but it hopped around a little too much for my liking.

Usually a big fan of Gitomer. This book seemed rather elementary compared to other leadership books. Not for the experienced leader but would be good for the new found leader.

Another classic work by Gitomer that is packed with real life information, examples and resources that can be applied immediately. This is a book to be revisited often, studied and not just read. A few of the tools included in the book include Gitomer's Self Evaluation of the Basic Elements of Leadership and the Attributes of an Ideal Leader.
Inspiration and "straight forward" talk for looking at your own leadership & attitude mirror first before rolling out with the team/family. This book along with Jeffrey's Yes! Attitude will get you energized and focused to improve your skills and become a better person.

What a lot of vivid texts and nice quotes! But this book is like a compilation of promotion and ads. It is similar to the mainstream self-help leadership genre (e.g. traits of effective leaders; self-assessment of talent and other character qualities; how to define goals, set goals, and achieve goals; how to manage stress, handle difficult people, etc.) The author tries to put leadership in various contexts of personal development, mental health, coaching, gut/intuitive decision making. However, they are all subdued due to the flowery, over-promoting texts.

This books gives a lot of information on how to be Paul Hersey and passionate about his job. This is a compilation of lists (with small descriptions) that sometimes repeat themselves and all seem to lead to other resources outside this book. It is informative but feels to me like a gateway to his products and not a complete resource in and of itself.

This was a good book, but I wouldn't say it was great. Some of it was the classic old rhetoric you would see in other leadership books. At the same time, there was a lot of great material and useful nuggets of information.
