What is leadership exactly? This book offers a new model for leadership that's based on quantum physics. The book is a combination "think" book and self-help guide for anyone who wants to develop leadership potential. It also: explains how, in quantum physics, patterns are random and unpredictable - just as in life; describes conditions where leadership occurs (naturally); and helps readers explore them. These conditions make up the nine "laws" of leadership and they offer insights into finding the "leader within". The author explains the "quantum leader paradigm", and why it's particularly applicable in our chaotic times. The book also supplies more than 100 action ideas to help readers develop leadership potential, and explains how to increase a reader's ability to inspire and influence others by tapping the interconnection between leaders and followers; and provides dozens of real-life examples of leaders who have succeeded and failed.

5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the best on Leadership theory and practice!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Nine Natural Laws of Leadership (Hardcover)
There is such a glut of business and management and leadership books out these days, that I was delighted to find something that moves past the fundamentals of Leadership/Followership, providing sensible action plans that are very practical, user-friendly and effective.I enjoyed this book and have recommended it to many others - especially my top people striving for executive level positions.

Insightful and very practical.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Nine Natural Laws of Leadership (Hardcover)
Great stories and many good action ideas that I found immediately useful. Blank takes a different approach to understanding leadership: he clearly describes the distinction between "leaders" vs. "managers". He also explains how, through awareness and then use of specific "natural laws" (both individual and universal), anyone can create atunement with "followers" -- which according to Blank, is the basis of successful leadership.

2.0 out of 5 stars
TOO COMPLICATED,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Nine Natural Laws of Leadership (Hardcover)
Unfortunately, the only chapter do address the 9 natural laws of leaderhsip is the first one...after that, the author moves into the quantum leadership theory for the remaining part of the book. The book is filled with great information but is is buried deep within complicated, over-technical sentences. The author seems to be out to impress other authors with his use of $10 words than to get a worthwhile set of information to the reader. It is very unfortunate since there is very good info in this book but it is soooo hard to get to it. He should try to write this book over again and let a normal person read it first before publishing it! Don in Denver.
