5.0 out of 5 stars Santa's Secrets Applied All Year Long!, December 5, 2003

By A Customer

Occasionally, a book comes along that presents leadership concepts in a new and exciting way. That's exactly what these authors have done. I was hooked from the introduction and didn't quit reading until I finished the closing thoughts. I still find myself picking it up again and again.

I was impressed by how practical Santa's advice was throughout this book. The ideas can be applied immediately and the book provides plenty of material to keep on giving.

Some people may think, "This is a good idea for the holidays" even though the sub-title hints it's going to be useful all year long. It didn't take many pages to convince me this is isn't just a holiday book -- Santa's secrets apply to every day throughout the whole year. I strongly recommend this book for all types of settings.

Kudos to the authors!

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't get the audiobook, November 9, 2006

By	A. Lands (GA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Leadership Secrets of Santa Claus (Audio CD)

I'm sorry, I couldn't get past the horrible narration and annoying music to enjoy the purpose of the book. Hopefully the written word is much better as the other two reviewers have stated.
