 Great Book, Great Ideas July 24, 2008

This book really goes into a bigger picture than his first book, The Radical Leap. It displays him helping one individual person that definetly needed it and the challenges faced when trying to help someone. He also expresses some new ideas that really go hand in hand with business and the direction of this series. I give it a must read, only after the first book though. It was also a quick read but definitely one I will read again.
Big Will.
High impact leadership starts with the leader August 27, 2007
Jason Deuman (Lynnwood, WA United States)
This weekend I picked up Steve Farber's The Radical Edge.
I really enjoyed the simplicity of this book. I'm finding that I enjoy the Leadership Parable format a lot more than the principle driven books. Steve Farber, Pat Lencioni, Ken Blanchard are all writing in this same vane and it's very enjoyable. As the reader I am found myself very engaged with the characters and with the drama that surrounds their lives.
I found that this book really focuses on the person more than the organization the person works in. I think that is an important principle because as a leader if you don't know who you are then you are just going to vacillate in your leadership, following the whims and fancies of the day. But if you really know who you are and what you want to do and where you want to do it, you will succeed.
This book has a lot of simple principles that I think are helpful and easy to initiate. The principle of the WUP (Wake-Up Pad) is great and something that I have been trying to do. Basically record what's going on around you. I'm not very good at it, but this blog and the journal that I've been using have helped.
I'm considering reading it again just to really cement the concepts in my brain. But I would highly recommend this book to anyone trying to be a better leader.

I found this book while wandering in a used bookstore. Looked good so I bought it and it sat in my car for about a month. I picked it up last week and could not put it down. The book is a fictional story, but it was capitivating. I wished the characters in the story were real, and that I could meet them and become part of their circle.
I was touched by the message of the book, and I believe that you will be as well. The characters in the book are what examples of whom I want to surround myself with.
Read the book and allow yourself to get lost in the story.

The company I worked for bouught and read this book. It was highly enlightening and helpful to give you insight and suggestions on how to improve your work environment and personal life. If you enjoy a non-fiction book that has the spin of a real life soap opera than this is a good read for you!
