"Can I drive the car?" is a familiar refrain for most parents. But in dealing with this issue of control, trust and training, is there a lesson to be learned, a lesson that can be applied by leaders in the business environment? Leadership trainer Keith Coats thinks so, and has written a witty and instructive book that draws on everyday events in the life of his family, pointing out how these experiences translate into important lessons in leadership. Whether they are issues of control or communication, inspiration or loyalty, or simply getting through the tough times, Coats explores the universal lessons we learn as parents and shows how to apply them in the boardroom, the office or the factory.

A light entertaining read with a big invitation to reflect,
By
This review is from: Everything I Know About Leadership I Learnt from the Kids (Paperback)
This is one of those books that you can read in small chunks. It's filled with entertaining and amusing short stories that could easily be about your own journey with children. But what I enjoyed most was that I couldn't help but reflect on who I was and what I beleive about leadership. It's one of those books that leaves you with un-answered questions that live with you for some time afterwards.
It's an easy read that you should have on your bookshelf, not only for your own development, but to lend out to others wanting an entry point into reading and thinking about leadership.

This review is from: Everything I Know About Leadership I Learnt from the Kids (Paperback)
Keith offers funny yet poignant insights into leadership based on his experiences as a parent. Yes, you've got to pity his wife (!) but this a great book on leadership.
