Summary: A Must Read for Leaders And For Those Who Aspire To Lead
Review: This is an outstanding book and should be required reading for anyone who manages people or who is getting started in their career and will manage in the future. In addition to providing terrific insights into the art and science of leadership, the book serves as an excellent roadmap for those who want to improve their leadership skills and that of their management team. In addition to their extensive research and powerful discussions on what makes great leaders, the book is an absolute delight to read. Kouzes and Posner's command of the language and easy readability, along with their very relevant case studies and analyses, can help all of us improve our leadership skills and develop more effective organizations.

Summary: One Of The Two Books That Should Be Required Reading
Review: This is not your typical leadership book that reads like a biography. Although it provides many personal leadership anecdotes (the "meat"), it is more an outline of leadership basics (the "carcass"). It is a book that everyone in a position of leadership could do well with. And, for an easy education on the philosophical framework (the "skeletal structure") that supports all leadership practices, read the book "West Point" by Norman Thomas Remick. That rounds out your knowledge (the whole "body") of leadership. If I had my way, both of these books would be required reading for every student in leadership and management.
