<p>Ok, I have to say that this book rubbed me in all the wrong ways.</p>
<p>First, more pictures than content. I mean, if I want to have a book about
boats, I'd get a book about boats, not about leadership.</p>
<p>Second, the rules are somewhat weird. &quot;A leader must know themselves&quot; I can
get behind, specially because one would have to know their own weaknesses to
lead people. &quot;Know what they want&quot;... why? A leader may lead people to make
things they (leader) don't even fully agree, but know it must be done. Just
knowing what you want (even couple with the other points) doesn't make you a
leader -- heck, it doesn't even <em>fit</em> the description of a leader.</p>
<p>This was a book that I picked up and dropped next day 'cause fuck confusing
&quot;being a boss&quot; with &quot;being a leader&quot; -- and those two are completely
different aspects.</p>
