Gets to the heart of good leadership and how to be a great one.

I learned more about leadership from this book than in several years of management training and practice.

Its central premise is simple but profound, and humanly rather than academically inspired - that great leadership is a balance of human traits and humane practices and it is all about the people you are leading, not about you.

Sue writes is with authority, absolute clarity, elegance and no small amount of humour.

If you only read one book about leadership make it this one.
