Leadership That Gets Results
Daniel Goleman · 2017
83/100
👍 Worth It
Few business ideas have proven as sticky as Goleman's six leadership styles, and this concise HBR Classics edition distills the core insight efficiently: the best leaders don't pick a style and stay there, they read the situation and move fluidly between approaches. The research base is solid, the framework is immediately actionable, and at roughly 80 pages it respects your time. A genuine must-read for any manager who wants to understand why some leaders get results and others don't.
