    Contains very practical tips on how to be an effective leader... the kind that makes sense to me, the kind that I was willing to try out for an entire school year. It worked very well for me. I highly recommend it to anyone in a position of leadership.

    Not only a good business book, but good for real life. Learning to encourage others builds better relationships.

    If people are what matter, this is a critical read for leaders[br/][br/]No communities are not a collection of assets, financial reports, and marketing, they are made up with people. This may be obvious. On the other hand, a large percentage of managers and leaders act as though people are robots there but to order around and attack if performance does not match expectations. Of course expectations have never been clarified, but that is an other story. If this description of management and leadership offends you, you really should be reading this book. There is a well documented better way to work with, reward, and encourage people. If we all treated people the way that is outlined in this book, our world would be a better place. [br/][br/]This is also a very easy to read book with clear and valuable recommendations. It is worthy of a learning group within your management team. Bring your managers together into circle and explore how to implement this principles. You will be glad you did. [br/]
