Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 📱 Kindle
The Leadership Moment
Michael Useem · 1998
78/100
👍 Worth It
Penny's a sucker for a good story, and Useem tells nine genuinely gripping ones — Apollo 13's Eugene Kranz calmly steering a crisis is worth the price of admission alone. It's dated in spots since it's a '98 original, but the narrative case-study approach still teaches leadership better than most textbooks manage.
