Life Lessons in Leadership: The Way of the Wallaby is a self-help, educational, entertaining book that teaches essential, personal, leadership skills. Regardless of one’s specific leadership role, there are basic principles which strengthen all leaders’ abilities and can help to assure their success. This book defines those skills by making them clear and easily understood, through a clever combination of literary text targeted to adult leaders, combined with captivating childlike stories. Life Lessons in Leadership: The Way of the Wallaby models a literary style similar to Spenser Johnson’s Who Moved My Cheese? by illustrating real world lessons through the stories of engaging fictional characters. Additionally, the perennial favorite gift for graduates, Dr. Seuss’ Oh, the Places You'll Go! is another example of the style of this book…appealing to young and older audiences alike. Leaders, ages 8 to 88, will learn lessons in leadership in ways that are not only meaningful and memorable but also engaging, entertaining and enchanting.

Principles of leadership for all leadership roles and ages!

July 17, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I greatly enjoyed this book! The cover of the book states for leaders from 8 to 88, and I love that it emphasizes that leadership is not limited by age or title. In fact, this book points out that in addition to typically recognized leadership titles, the role of a parent is an especially powerful leadership role as well. Therefore, I find this book relevant to so many as we so often find ourselves in various leadership roles throughout our lives. This book addresses leadership principles with memorable narratives. Each chapter accentuates key sentences or phrases, which helps the reader reflect on each principle. The wallaby illustrations add an especially unique touch, which gives it relevance for all ages. Overall, this is a wonderful addition to my library!

I'm COO of an educational software company geared at the K-12 market and recently came across this book. I really loved the life lessons that it teaches and the book itself is easily relatable for almost any age group. They've done a great job at breaking out common sense wisdom about leadership and packaging it in a way that is relatable and actionable. I highly recommend this book.

light-hearted way to introduce management concepts

January 12, 2017

Format: Paperback

This clever and beautifully illustrated book tries to do the impossible: discuss the challenges of managing people in such elementary terms that even a kid could understand it. It's a captivating collaboration by an educational consultant, a children's author and a talented artist. The book is brief --- it's less than 20 pages -- but it presents important insights about leadership that even the most book-averse could absorb without too much pain. I see the book as accomplishing three things. First, it facilitates discussion by providing silly (and imaginary) examples of well-run and dysfunctional organizations. Second it contains whimsical verse of clueless animal bosses (complete with cute drawings) which directly relate to the concepts described on the page preceding it. Third, it emphasizes the importance of soft management skills (like listening, giving credit and responding to conflict from a loving perspective). The whole book has a "maternal vibe" to it, and that is somewhat unusual for a book on management; this certainly is appropriate in some contexts (such as education and nonprofits), but in other business contexts, it may seem too touchy-feely and not goal-oriented enough. Still, the books makes a few points quickly and makes them well (and entertainingly). The book is a great ice-breaker for managers who are seeking a light-hearted way to introduce management concepts to staff.

Inspiring, thought provoking and quick read

November 8, 2016

Format: Paperback

This book really is relatable for anyone 8-88. As a serial entrepreneur the lessons on leadership and insight imparted continuously stay with you. They are a great reminder of how to be a better leader daily. The content is written in 'everyday' language that a child, teenager or adult can quickly grasp and relate to. For every lesson there is a 'story' that shows the leadership skills being utilized in an example setting between two characters. This further emphasizes how to utilize these important leaderships skills on an everyday basis.

Life Lessons in Leadership is a lovely addition to to any leader's professional library.

December 1, 2016

Format: Paperback

Books on leadership abound. Ann McMullan and Michael Barrett's Life Lessons in Leadership is a unique addition to the genre. Its target audience is leaders from 8 to 88. Insightful narrative on the five "L's" combined with the the light-hearted prose between the wallabies, Sheila and Josephine, is good information wherever you are in your leadership journey. Share it with your children, your students, your colleagues--anyone who aspires lo grow their leadership capacity.
