I really enjoyed this book as I have walked the labyrinth in France but never concieved of the three part journey as a path for the corporate leader. The author is an original thinker whose writing style is most engaging and very entertaining.

This review is from: Leading from the Maze: A Personal Pathway to Leadership (Hardcover)

This book has great articulation, and great methods of how to incorporate a more personal aspect to the corporate world. I feel that in many companies in todays society, they are lacking a great deal of personality, and is to invloved with the every day buisness of buisness. This book, Leading From the Maze, offers many great solutions as well as humour. I would like to recomend it to anyone to feels stuck in the work place, or feels they need to figure out how to put creativity back into their daily lives.

5.0 out of 5 stars the labyrinth as a leadership model is brilliant, January 16, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Leading from the Maze: A Personal Pathway to Leadership (Hardcover)

His style of writing is most engaging as he is a story teller, humorist and provocative thinker. If business could encourage this style of leadership, the world would indeed change as the author suggests. I am attempting the "inner management" practices in my work as a result of reading this book. Thank you.
