W. Chan Kim · 2017
64/100
👎 Skip It
This is really a reprinted article, not a full book, so you get a clever idea -- treat leadership as changeable actions, not fixed traits -- but not much room to develop it. It also leans on some pretty dated engagement statistics to make its case, which knocks it down a notch.
