3.0 out of 5 stars One can replace Geronimo with any other name and can still make it, September 20, 2009
This review is from: The Leadership Teachings of Geronimo: How 19 Defeated 5000 (Paperback)
The title "How 19 defeated 5000" really attracted me. However, I couldnt say I know Geronimo at all after the 103 teachings and I really think that the title is misleading. In short, this book is below the average leadership book based on a key figure. If you seldom read books of this genre, it's marginally okay. Otherwise, please give this it a pass.

p.s. Below please find some of my favorite passages for your reference.

Very few people actually enjoy confrontation. It is often easier to ignore a situation that calls out for confrontation in the hopes that the problem will take care of itself. This rarely happens. Leaders know that you must confront others who create a problem. If done with the proper tact and care, the problem can most often be remedied. However, even when you do not get the solution desired, you have the satisfaction of knowing that you tried, and the person you confronted will know that yo are an individual who will seek remedies for wrongs that are done to you. pg 101
Leaders spend more time on one thing than any other - communication. It is vital to the well being of the organisation. Without it the goals and objectives for which you are responsible can never be accomplished. pg 114
