Leadership is a term that people perceive very differently. Most think of CEOs, managers, and coaches and while that is of course true, it is much more than that. A leader is a person who goes in front of new projects, ideas or trends, and who can direct others towards a common goal. It doesn’t even have to be on a big scale. Remember that teacher who sparked your interest in mathematics or literature? Or your father who motivated you to do your homework when it was difficult? Leaders can be found everywhere in society, and you don’t need a big title to become one.

Decent examples, but outdated male focused POV
Struggling to finish based on frequent examples of female employees with poor conduct needing discipline, being dramatic and/or dressing inappropriately or being distracting at work based on hair styles. The boss is almost always a male in the examples questioning the unprofessional female subordinate distracting and offending men with hair, clothing and or drama.

For people working in The Office
I’m a female supervisor in a factory. This book isn’t for me. There are a few managers who talk as this book suggests and they eventually lose all respect. I only read the chapters relevant to my job role and circumstances . And my tough conversations already go way beyond the examples set in this book... Loved the narrative voice and easy formatting of this audiobook so I could easily find and listen to what I needed.
