HACKING LEADERSHIP The 11 Gaps Every Business Needs to Close and the Secrets to Closing Them Quickly

A management consultant describes how to be more closely aligned with ideals of leadership in 11 key areas. If the tone of this audio sounds negative or even smug, it's not because of narrator Christopher Grove, whose voice, phrasing, and can-do attitude are near perfect for this genre. It's the writing that's at fault--writing that presents these otherwise worthwhile ideas in terms of what's wrong with the leader and uses language that too often drifts into hackneyed management jargon. The ideas represent well-trodden topics in leadership education--topics worth hearing by any leader serious about professional growth. But with too many vacant-sounding generalizations, this book requires Grove's excellent performance to make it an accessible learning experience.
