" Some good tips and advice but very very circular. It folded in and back on itself multiple times until it became a bit mind-numbing. "
" Mostly I was disappointed because I thought this book would tell me how to lead when I wasn't the one with authority. It was really a re-hash of a bunch of famous books without any of the charisma of any of them. I didn't need to hear anything about setting goals of different lengths, for example. "
" I finally finish it..... uh uh... as I said before,I am not very good in reading serious stuff like this one. Hopefully, some of it get into my head :P. "
" Can't say I was very moved after reading this. Overall good tips, but nothing earth shattering. "
