The Brainsmart Leader

Rating:
Summary: Using Your Whole Brain
Review: A leading edge business book on the use of the brain. A great tool to help leaders at every stage of their career.

Summary: Not much new or noteworthy
Review: I found real value in Buzan's earlier, colorful book MindMapping, so I didn't need to plow that ground again here.

I've read much more useful information on developing one's brain. The information here seems simplistic, undeveloped, and hardly new. A good source for brain expanding techniques is Restak's Mozart's Brain and the Fighter Pilot.

I am disappointed that this book is so thin on content. It has only a few reference readings and they are almost all by Buzan. For the price, color would have been a nice addition especially for the mind maps which gain much more impact through its use. I hate to pan a book, and I'll pay any price for value. This was not a fair exchange of value for the price.

Summary: Awesome book
Review: This is an awesome book. So many teams try to operate on top of conditions that are hostile to good brain function. I think this should be required reading for all team leaders -- or maybe even team members!
