This book is easy read, simple to understand. It helped me to make a big difference to my life. I highly recommend it to anybody. English is not my first language. This is the first book I finished to read in English... Thanks for writing it !

"Leadership from Within" offers a good introduction to leadership. Written in a down-to-earth style, it emphasizes essential values such as vision, passion, and self-knowledge. Numerous anecdotes add depth and inspiration.

Leadership is a characteristic which is a key ingredient to obtaining success in today's society. Unfortunately, it is not something we are all born with. This book, however, will point you in the right direction to becoming a leader. It is very well written, clear, and easy to understand. Leadership From Within by Peter Urs Bender is definitely something I recommend to everyone!

The author has outdone himself on this book. The leadership topic has been done thousands of times, but with this book we finally get a refreshing INTERNAL look at leadership and how it can be used and created.

A MUST have not only for business people, but also for anyone who would like to have a little more control of their own life.

A winner for sure.

The book is a nightmare. The average length of each sentence is six words or thereabouts. I think Disney's speech bubbles are more complex than this. It reminds me of a bad TV preacher with dimples and I felt like exclaiming "halleluja" after each sentence. The man is completely incapable of putting a readable paragraph together. I read this book after devouring Charles Taylor's Modern Social Imaginaries and I did not manage to get past page 30, no matter how hard I tried. Horrible.

Bender is doing an excellent job motivating key excecutives by maintaining high ethical standards. This book is a must for every leader who wants to be more successful.

Peter Urs Bender writes in such a refreshing way that it's hard to stop reading his books once you start.

Leadership from Within is full of excellent ideas, interspersed with Peter's own enlightening perspectives and first class expertise.

Any business person (whether employed, or self-employed) can learn something by reading Leadership from Within - I work entirely alone and I even gained some incredibly valuable knowledge.

This is an excellent choice. buy it!

Mr. Bender has written a fantastic little book on leadership style and approach. It isn't overwhelming, one can read a littler here and a little there, the topics are on the mark, the advice is solid and the package is interesting.

It's hard to make the topic of leadership something beyond informative, but Bender manages to make it interesting and fun. The author focuses on 'style' and how one can manage the various personalities that inevitably crop up in the professional world. What's particularly nice about the insight in this book is that it's in no way condescending. Like magnate Mike Hammer says, "the soft stuff is the hard stuff." Managing people is 'soft leadership' while managing process is 'hard leadership.' And it's the soft leadership that is the hardest to do well. Bender will set you well on your way to doing right and doing it well.

...I highly recommend Mr. Bender's works.

This is an amazing book, that help to understand many things about our selves.

During the past five years I have read a couple of books on Leadership, from Stephen Covey, Tony Robbins, Tom Peters, Brian Tracy and others, but your book is absolutely the best one I have read. Your ideas are very clear so when reading your book it was like I was reading my own mind, but now with the right words. (In English) I bought your book "Leadership from Within" on my way back home from Hawaii. Thanks for writing it !
