Очень неплохо. Хотя после Адизеса и сказки о рыбалке и рыбке Пушкина несколько вторично.

Впрочем, типология альфачей (исполнитель, стратег, мечтатель, командир) прописана детально и даже с учётом гендерных разниц, и авторы попытались дать советы как усилить положительные стороны таких личностей и ослабить их негатив. Так что к прочтению рекомендую.

This book was an interesting quick read. If you're a male then it would definetly be a great self-help book. If you're a female, chances are you know a guy or two that is described in the book. If you don't want to wake up with a murder an alpha male one day maybe give it a quick look.

I learned about myself from this book, more than I did from all the personality tests I ever took.

Rimta knyga. Tuo ir skiriasi nuo kitų savišvietos/savipagalbos knygų. Pabaigoje truputis reklamos, kodėl reikalingas konsutlantas/koučeris/treneris. Bet visumoje paliko teigiamą įspūdį. Aš rekomenduočiau vadovams, kurie jaučia, kad reikėtų pasigilinti į save. Daug praktinių, bet iš kitos pusės ir abstrakčių patarimų. Toks bendro pobūdžio tyrimas ir jo aptarimas apei skirtingų tipų vadovus.

"Когда возникают трудности, за дело берутся альфа -лидеры".
Книга - результат исследований двух специалистов по коучингу топ-менеджеров. Большинство из том-менеджеров относятся к категории альфа-лидеров. Авторы выделяют четыре категории альфа-лидеров:
-Командиры,
-Мечтатели,
-Стретеги,
-Исполнители.
У каждой категории свои достоинства и недостатки. Авторы дают советы как развить достоинства, как сократить недостатки, как работать с начальниками, относящимися к таким типам. 
В книге дана ссылка на сайт, где можно пройти 12 минутную оценку того, являетесь ли Вы альфа-лидером, и если ДА - то какого типа. https://www.worthethic.com/aa/index.a... конце- общая и весьма поверхностная информация о здоровье альфа-литеров, методах снятия стресса, медитации, коучинге и семейной жизни. 
Мне показалось, что книга слегка поверхностна. Но для тех, кто взаимодействует тесно с топами в т.ч. как коуч - вполне интересно. Как и для самих альфа-лидеров.

• When I got this book, I got it because I was dealing with a boss who was kind of a tyrant. I thought that he was an alpha male. It turns out, there are good qualities as well as weaknesses to alpha males. The boss I was working for only had weaknesses. He may have had some good qualities, but they never came out at work. Overall, I’m still glad that I read this book. It looks at relationships in business and gives you strategies on how to be more productive when you work with an alpha male. It doesn’t state that alpha males are either good or bad. It just states what their studies have shown they are. There is also an assessment that you can take for free when you buy the book to find out if you are an alpha male and what your strengths and weaknesses are. That was also a good exercise for me. Also in the book there were some good techniques for dealing with stress. I’m pretty happy I read this book even though I don’t work for the same guy I did when I put this book on the list. If nothing else, I feel like I will be more prepared for more situations that may arise in business.

The gist of the book is to know yourself. The authors provide a typology of four types of alpha males: commanders, visionaries, strategists, and executors. Each type is broken down into strengths and weaknesses and suggestions are given for how to deal with weaknesses to become better. Interesting, but nothing new for those who have done some reading in this area already.
