Read for class (Leadership Communication). Schultze does a wonderful job of provoking thought and illustrating his point with vivid examples. For the assignment, I answered his reflection questions and I found myself challenged in many ways. Even though it was written for a business setting, there were themes of Christianity and it encouraged my faith. The chapters were very concise, like a devotional.
