This is a very good leadership book.

I found this book to be very thought-provoking and insightful. The story is told in a very easy-to-understand way by using the concept of Santa Claus.

Excellent!

What sounded like a goody title and concept is actually one of the best I've read. After around 40 or so leadership books, this one seems to have taken the most important and best portions of them and made a very relatable book.

Great Bedtime Story for Everyone

Would you consider the audio edition of The Leadership Secrets of Santa Claus to be better than the print version?

yes, using new 1.25x speed brings these good business and life lessons to life. Mel Forster is Santa. This was so cleverly done, that you had a smile on your face as you re evaluate the good facts of business and life.
This is a great way to educate young people early as a bedtime story.

What other book might you compare The Leadership Secrets of Santa Claus to and why?

Brian Tracy's Bulleye, is short and to the point like this book. These are simple elements, but many fail to embrace them.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

These were simple reminders that pay off. It was to the point, and cleverly told. What more could you ask for in a self help book.

Any additional comments?

Nice daily deal that enable you to learn or be reminded, and be entertained.
Nice job Audible!
