These is my first book that I read related to my job. Was giving to me by one of the high managers in the company. I really apreciatte the gesture and I must admit that at the beginning I was afraid that I will not like it that it will only include motivational quotes the true is that it teach me a lot. It can be short but is full of lessons, it tell stories and provide perspective. I now think that everybody that wants to be a manager can start by getting ideas from this book.
Upon the recommendation of a respected leader, I picked up two books from Max DePree, Leadership Jazz and Leadership is an Art. I decided to read Jazz first and I really enjoyed that book. It made me excited for Art. However, my expectations may have been a bit too high.
Leadership is an Art is a fine book on leadership. The message is authentic and great, but in the end, the book was rather forgettable. Nothing stood out to me. Perhaps if I read this book first and Jazz second, I would be writing a more positive review.
So, in my opinion, I would tell someone to read Leadership Jazz over this book.
