The Four Obsessions of an Extraordinary Executive Audiobook

" Don't judge me. I had to read this, but for a book with this embarrassing a title, it was painless and dare I say, there was a valid point or two buried in there. "

" Very good book at the executive level "

" The Four Obsessions of an Extraordinary Executive: A Leadership Fable by Patrick M. Lencioni (2000) "

" As always Patrick Lencioni's books are amazing and powerful. Learning about good leadership traits in prose format really forces the issues to become emotionally charged instead of feeling like some textbook jargon. "

" Excellent book with valuable insights for leadership, importance of values, cohesive teams, and more. "

" Most of Lencioni's books are very easy to read - they are made up from a easy to follow story and at the end there's a sum-up, often pointing the obvious facts that you didn't get yourself while reading the story... "

" I had to read this for a MBA class and found it to be your typical leadership book which is out there with the corny "story" to learn from. I think you can get better ideas in reading a book which lays it out and uses everyday real life examples. "

" Had to read this book for a business meeting. Simple concepts, but wasn't interesting enough for me to finish it. "

" Not as profound as "The Five Dysfunctions of a Team", but still a very insightful read for anyone who is a senior manager or aspires to be one. Lencioni has a great talent for brevity and boiling down complex problems to their core essence. I'm buying a copy of this for my CEO. "

" great book told as a leadership parable "

" An easy book to read on a plane ride. Gives great advice for anyone running a business or even anyone leading in a church setting. "

" A great message for anyone who finds them in any type of executive or leadership position. "

" This book is pretty lame. It has some good general advice around the 4 obsessions, however, the lack of specificity, details, and recommendations about dealing with the dysfunctions of real organizations earns the book 2 stars. "

" Loved it! Must now read Advantage that takes the concepts a little further. Great way to present the idea of organizational health and who we should focus on it as leaders. Must read. "

" Enjoyed the teaching points on communication of strategy and corporate values. "

" Everyone who is, has or will be in a position of leading others or managing an organization would do well to read this book. Written in corporate fable style and very poignant. "

" Great book. Easy read and easily applied. "

" This book will really help you think of your team in a new way. Organizational Clarity is huge. "
