5.0 out of 5 stars Leadership lessons learned May 20, 2009
Format:Hardcover
As a former military officer and elected official I have received many hours of leadership training. I find that Garcia's book is a complete blueprint to developing leadership greatness. The many antedotes from proven leaders captures the imagination and makes this book an easy read. Before buying any other book on business and leadership buy this book first!!! I plan on purchasing a copy for each of my four sons. It will be an investment worth its weight in gold.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic inquiry into the subject of leadership May 18, 2009
Format:Hardcover
As a CEO working to survive today's tumultuous markets, I found Mr. Garcia's book to provide sound insights and solid examples of true leadership. The book covers decades of experiences from those who have proven their merit in perhaps the greatest pressure-cooker of them all, yet all told it provides timeless lessons that remain both useful and relevant in our current climate. I enjoyed the read and will surely keep the book handy well into the future.
