Lessons from Innovative Leaders

Revisado: 01-14-19

This is a fantastic and fast read. it places a practical and realistic importance on our world where change is the new normal and where anyone can lead right where they are. I recommend this book to anyone who is challenged to lead, sees a place where they feel they can make a difference, or who is kust waking up to the new paradigms of corporate behavior and structure. You will find value here.

A Great Personalization of a very Public Story

Revisado: 12-18-18

One of just two perspectives that really matter. Her vantage point is impossible to replicate and therefore is invaluable. I can't express just how much I appreciate her exposing so much in such a composed and thoughtful way.

Great ideas and insights

Revisado: 10-04-18

the sort of read that keeps delivering useful bits of insight and advice. Worth reading twice or keeping close by for reference as we solve the challenges of working effectively.

we're in danger...period.

Leadership requires a moral code. one other than one's own preservation. We're missing that. and combined with Trump's outdated, fear-tinged views...we'll be lucky if he doesn't screw us all. I got no comfort from this book. Only Fear.

I'm better for reading this book

Revisado: 08-10-18

I'll let the many reviews of this wonderful book tackle how well it's written...how skillfully it's delivered in audio form.
Instead, I'll focus on what it did for me. I entered this world of "Other Suns" with a distinct view of myself, in relation to my Southern Family Roots, as a detached being with not so much in common. and it left me wanting and disconnected.
I leave this book in tears. I imagine those tears are the same as a lost person who's just been found. I recognize myself in the lives of my parents (who stayed) and the time-folding effect of realizing that my motivation for leaving the south at 16 in 1983 was no different than those who left decades before.
I've come to see myself as a branch of a very old, powerful and noble tree. My children are the next stages of growth on that same tree. I am rooted in a new, old way. and it feels good. I've had a reunion between my heart, mind and soul. I am better for this.

Fantastic perspective on how to win as the underdo

Revisado: 04-17-18

great view into making a weakness an advantage. the examples come from so many different views as to make it possible to know it's real. that coming from disadvantage, when understood fully, can be the right way to approach life.

Great conversations, great people

Revisado: 11-10-17

Listening to an assortment of smart, focused, curious people, from all walks of life, talk about how they think is amazing. It humanizes the genius in ways that, for me, makes it clear that we all have much to give. I'm not sure of the mission or if this series accomplished what was intended. I am sure that it has paid me back tenfold in sparking optimism and positive thinking.
