Editorial Reviews

Product Description

In his bestselling business parable The Radical Leap, Steve Farber introduced readers to Extreme Leadership, showing them how to renew their passion and excitement and become committed to changing the world for the better by disregarding normal constraints.

 

Now, Farber takes readers to an even higher level of self-discovery in The Radical Edge. Management guru Steve is back, working with young Senior VP Cameron Summerfield, who has superstar sales skills but a severe and demoralizing leadership style. Along the way, both Steve and Cameron learn how taking responsibility for making the future markedly better than the present can improve the world. Readers will learn answers to these questions:

 

•How can people amp up their lives to amazing levels of achievement?

•If individuals assume personal responsibility, can customers, companies, and employees change for the better?

•Is it really possible to shake off inertia and transform your work—and your life?

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a Great Read!, April 20, 2006
By Red Tiger & Associates (Encinitas, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Radical Edge: Stoke Your Business, Amp Your Life, and Change the World (Hardcover)
Steve Farber has done it again. The Radical Edge takes off where the Radical Leap left off and it does take off. Filled with practical and depthful advice, The Radical Edge is a promise fulfilled. Farber has a way of presenting powerful ideas in a simple and straight forward fashion that speaks directly to making positive business and life choices, and he does so with a level of humor that makes this book a great read. Not only is the parable that drives this book well-thought out, but Farber's execution is excellent. This book and the earlier one may be focused on the business audience, but they provide wonderful and insightful advice for anyone who believes that living a successful life has more to do with who we are and how well we relate to others rather than how much stuff we can accumulate. Farber has really nailed what it takes to live "the good life." Now all we have to do is amp it up.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book WUP'ed me upside the head!, April 19, 2006
This review is from: The Radical Edge: Stoke Your Business, Amp Your Life, and Change the World (Hardcover)
I won this book on a website called Inbubble wrap and had no real idea what to expect but I am always interested in improving my skills. I picked up the book on a Saturday morning and spent the whole day, on and off, reading. It makes so much sense and Farber's writing style makes it easy to digest.

The most important advice I got from the book is to love the people you serve. There is no higher calling, no matter how you accomplish this.

I am starting my own WUP and am re-reading the book. I highly recommend Radical Edge!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, Great Ideas, July 24, 2008
This review is from: The Radical Edge: Stoke Your Business, Amp Your Life, and Change the World (Hardcover)
This book really goes into a bigger picture than his first book, The Radical Leap. It displays him helping one individual person that definetly needed it and the challenges faced when trying to help someone. He also expresses some new ideas that really go hand in hand with business and the direction of this series. I give it a must read, only after the first book though. It was also a quick read but definitely one I will read again.

Big Will.
