“Excellent discussion of core leadership principles. A colleague recommended this to me several years ago and I am just now getting around to reading it. The principles are sound and the presentation concise. A background in public safety may have helped to make the leadership lessons particularly applicable. This one made my “must read” list for leadership. This is not profound scholarship. If you want that, read Collins. If you want clear, concise and immensely practical points – this one is for you.”
