The Leadership Training Activity Book: 50 Exercises for Building Effective Leaders

Summary: Too touchy-feely for most organizations
Review: If your organizational culture is one that supports and encourages leaders to spend a lot of time discussing their feelings then this might be a good book for you. If your leaders enjoy learning through creative techniques such as making crafts, drawing pictures, writing poems, and metaphores, then this is book is just what you've been searching for.

I have never encountered such an organization (not counting my girl scout troop). Feelings and creativity are important in every business. This book, in my opinion, goes too far. Working in the HRD field, I'm accustomed to reading lots of corny ideas for training and most of them can easily be modified to suit the company culture. I wasn't able to salvage any activity from this book - it was just too "out-there" for me.

I wish someone else had reviewed this so I didn't make the mistake of purchasing it.
