The book explores real-world concerns such as focus, limited time, incremental improvement, and how we learn. nnThis is a great book that shares Kevin's wisdom regarding key leadership skills and how to improve them if you already have them, and how to get them if you don't. nnMore important, though, is the understanding that true leaders think and lead outside of the box; they are not bound by what worked yesterday or even this morning. Because of this freedom of thought, they are able to find unique solutions to challenging issues. Add to that, intelligent personnel management and savvy asset management, and you will find yourself on the path to more effective leadership. nnIf you have found most leadership books cut from similar cloth, you will not find this book to be.

If you are currently working in a leadership position and things just aren't going the way you want them to, read this book. If you find yourself in neither of the situations mentioned above, but you want to be, read this book. The author will guide you step by step up the yellow brick road to your own leadership success. n
