5.0 out of 5 stars This IS the Survival Kit for Leaders - A MUST READ -, June 10, 2003
By 
swootchie (Highland, UT United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Survival Kit for Leaders: An Interactive Way for a Leader to Become and Stay a Survivor (Paperback)
There are a myriad of different management books available today. This one is different. You already know why you need a new book on management or you wouldn't be looking into this book now. What was available before "The Survival Kit for Leaders" just didn't fill the need. We need to more than survive. We need to flourish and it's a jungle out there. This book provides a workable roadmap that can be used to navigate the pitfalls that can befall both new and veteran leaders and allow leaders to do more than just get by... this book will help direct you to success. The chapter on mentoring alone is worth the cost of the book. Do you know why you should be both a mentor AND be mentored? You will after reading this. After this read, not only will you want to mentor... you will actively want to FIND a mentor for yourself. Each chapter brings new level of revelation/insight to sometimes seemingly tired concepts. While you are setting your goals, make the first one to read this book. The time you spend reading "the Survival Kit for Leaders" will be an investment that everyone around you will benefit from. A good leader has an edge. A great leader has also read this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Learn How to Lead!, May 12, 2003
By 
Richard Barts (Chicago, Illinois United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Survival Kit for Leaders: An Interactive Way for a Leader to Become and Stay a Survivor (Paperback)
This is a leadership book that can actually teach you how to lead! You can read the 693 other books on leadership and management in your library, or you can just read "Survival Kit
For Leaders," and put it to work for you. This is one of a kind:
a truly interactive book that challenges, involves, and transforms you. The discussion questions in each chapter are the key. They make you participate in the many vital principles contained in the book, not just passively sit back. What a difference!
