This audio program is an abridged version of the book "The Leader in You." It is in some ways similiar to How to Win Friends and Influence People", but is more of an updated, modern version of that classic.

This is an excellent audio program for people who want to become leaders, improve people skills and maximize their lives. Not for people who have shallow lives, are not around people and live for the internet.

The CD version of this book is very disappointing. It must be an abridged version. If you've read the original,"How To Win Friends & Influence People" then this is nothing more than a brief review of part of that book. It's really all common sense and courtesy (maybe some upper management needs this) but it wasn't new information as far as I was concerned.

This book was a complete waste of time. Dale Carnegie's organization has gutted his classic How to Win Friends & Influence People and replaced it with a fluffy and useless "The Leader in You". They make some references to Carnegie's seminal work, but remove most of the meat to leave room for "inspirational" quotes from "important" people. The only nice thing I can say is that it was relatively short. Stick with the original.

There are lots of much better books on the subject of leadership. For example, read "The Leadership Challenge."

This book is a compilation of excerpts from many other publications. Nothing original.
