This review is from: Leader to Leader 2: Enduring Insights on Leadership from the Leader to Leader Institute's Award Winning Journal (J-B Leader to Leader Institute/PF Drucker Foundation) (Paperback)

I was assigned this book for a "Leadership" course at University. The class was Sr/Graduate level, and this book is pretty bad. A good google search would yield better articles, and the concepts that the book tries to highlight have been rehashed in dozens of self-help/self-improvement books.
