"The subtitle is: How Anyone, Anywhere, Can Make a Positive Difference. This is such a fine little book; clocks in at 100 pages. Everyone should read it. It gets kudos from such heavy hitters as Ken Blanchard, Lois Frankel, and Marcus Buckingham. I like this comment by Jeffrey Fox (author of Secrets of a Great Rainmaker): "Read this book if you want to lead a better life, lead an organization, or lead the way." I especially recommend it to anyone seeking a meaningful gift for a recent graduate. Here is a quote from the book: "Each of our lives is a leadership lab. We don't need a title, or an organization, to lead. What we need is nothing more nor less that a burning desire to make a positive difference and an awareness of the opportunities to lead that present themselves each day---at work, at home, with our friends and relatives, within our communities. If each of us chose to lead at the right time in the right way, what might our companies be like? Our communities? Our world?""

    " Quick read that I actually enjoyed. Most books of this genre I find redundant deserving an article and not an entire book. It was short and to the point. A good reminder that being a leader is an important skill that can be fine tuned in the most "mundane" of tasks. "

    " Great book! I would recommend this book to anyone that is working on becoming a better leader. I liked the way Mark relates the stories/examples to the workplace and life in general. I've learned many things that I will incorporate in my life in order to help make a difference. I was waken by few things but one thing that stands out is "without focus, it is impossible to move forward to achieve your goals". "

    " A story of how people exemplify leadership in their daily lives, and yes you don't need a title to be a leader. I like how the author gives plenty of examples through stories to bring home the message and has leader takeaways at the end of each section as well. Quick easy read. "

    " At first, I thought the author's message was vague and generic, but I got more into it in the second half. There aren't many specific actions or ideas I'll take from it, but it's the kind of book I'd be willing to reread every once in a while to see which ideas resonate at that moment. "
