Nelson Faria ，

Great articles selection on the leadership theme。

Juan Jacobo Bernal ，

I have never been a huge fan of anthologies。 But this one has absolutely blown my mind: the authors in Harvard Business Review’s book dissect fascinating cases and present applicable leadership lessons。 As the post-pandemic era begins to dawn， we might face unprecedented levels of volatility， uncertainty， complexity， and ambiguity— brilliant leadership will become a vital skill。 I highly recommend this tome。

Riah ，

Read this book for my Executive Leadership course and it definitely has shaped my mindset to think more of a leader。 While reading， we were instructed to present our thoughts on the reading material and also provide feedback to our classmates。 I will definitely be reading this book again and I am glad that I purchased the hard copy。

3。5 stars There are some great reads in here but overall， I don't think it added too much to my overall understanding of leadership。 I thought the best text was by none other then the leadership guru himself， Peter Drucker， titled The Effective Leader。 3。5 stars There are some great reads in here but overall， I don't think it added too much to my overall understanding of leadership。 I thought the best text was by none other then the leadership guru himself， Peter Drucker， titled The Effective Leader。 。。。more

Some articles were really good others very dated。

I was probably too young and inexperienced to really appreciate the teachings of this book back in the day。

A nice summary of leadership books。 Released quite long ago though

Great collection of 10 leadership articles by amazing leaders。 All of the articles are past their publishing date， but it's amazing how much they are still valid today。 Great collection of 10 leadership articles by amazing leaders。 All of the articles are past their publishing date， but it's amazing how much they are still valid today。 。。。more

Somehow I got bored listening to this （I did the audiobook version）。 Granted， there were valuable lessons， but not very exciting or inspiring ones。 Also， I'm not in an as high position as most of the examples in this book， so many teachings， though good， didn't resonate with me on a personal level。 I liked the part about managing your manager the best， as that made me realize new actionable concepts that I hadn't given any thought to prior to reading this。 Somehow I got bored listening to this （I did the audiobook version）。 Granted， there were valuable lessons， but not very exciting or inspiring ones。 Also， I'm not in an as high position as most of the examples in this book， so many teachings， though good， didn't resonate with me on a personal level。 I liked the part about managing your manager the best， as that made me realize new actionable concepts that I hadn't given any thought to prior to reading this。 。。。more

A worthy read as a compendium of good leadership articles。 It provides tips and tricks， general stats and studies about the leadership and is not a guide to build leadership。 If there was one concept that I would carry from this book， it would be about authentic leadership。 Great leaders can inspire and move someone， but emulating them and their action will not get him/her far。 On the contrary， understanding your own trials and tribulation， your life challenges and the journey itself， will help A worthy read as a compendium of good leadership articles。 It provides tips and tricks， general stats and studies about the leadership and is not a guide to build leadership。 If there was one concept that I would carry from this book， it would be about authentic leadership。 Great leaders can inspire and move someone， but emulating them and their action will not get him/her far。 On the contrary， understanding your own trials and tribulation， your life challenges and the journey itself， will help you be a better leader。 Being an incomplete （not to be misunderstood with incompetent） leader， being a human leader is what will connect you to people。 。。。more

Not an easy read with lots of significant research and concepts。 The book has a very high information density， and I will revisit some of the articles again in the future。 With remote working and global workforce， I wonder what kind of change we would anticipate for world class leader？

Javier Rivero ，

This compilation makes yourself challenge and question your performance and existance as a leader， in a good way。 Much of the treats， competencies， skills， etc described from the various authors do converge at certain points。 And while every author claims they did the best research amongst top X CEOs across all continents in the top performing companies， the conclusions vary a lot。 Either way， it's a good exercise to read all of this learnings derived from these exhaustive leadership analaysis。T This compilation makes yourself challenge and question your performance and existance as a leader， in a good way。 Much of the treats， competencies， skills， etc described from the various authors do converge at certain points。 And while every author claims they did the best research amongst top X CEOs across all continents in the top performing companies， the conclusions vary a lot。 Either way， it's a good exercise to read all of this learnings derived from these exhaustive leadership analaysis。That being said， I found the majority of the advice a little outdated， since most of these studies analyzed Top managers and CEO's from the 80's and 90's。 A lot has changed since then， leadership has evolved drastically and most of the now succesful companies are related to technology， where the culture inside of these organization are vastly different from a traditional corporation （eg。 GE/Gillete/Unilever）。 However， as mentioned above， some valuable learnings can be applied by the modern day leader， specially "In Praise of the Incomplete Leader" and "Discovering Your Authentic Leadership"。 。。。more

Not as great as HBR: Managing Yourself， but it provides a multiple frameworks for thinking about leadership， and discusses qualities of great leaders， inviting the process of self-reflection。 Like all the HBR series， it’s useful when you want to reset yourself: to dissect frustrations or stagnation， and identify blind spots to more intentionally “work on yourself。”Key takeaways: self-awareness and self-regulation distinguish great leaders from mediocre ones; the work of a leader is mainly to ali Not as great as HBR: Managing Yourself， but it provides a multiple frameworks for thinking about leadership， and discusses qualities of great leaders， inviting the process of self-reflection。 Like all the HBR series， it’s useful when you want to reset yourself: to dissect frustrations or stagnation， and identify blind spots to more intentionally “work on yourself。”Key takeaways: self-awareness and self-regulation distinguish great leaders from mediocre ones; the work of a leader is mainly to align people while they undergo adaptive challenges， not to manage the actual work and outcome; always ask what's best for the organization; relationships are absolute key: talk to anyone and everyone about anything。 。。。more

I picked this up from a charity store for 2 quid and thought hopefully， I can brush up on some of the learnings from B-school。 It's been a while afterall。I actually forgot how much stating the obvious sometimes these books get。 Having said that， there were some interesting parts to the read， especially anecdotes from the lives of some business leaders but one pays for that by wading through much that is tedious and rather repetitive。Maybe another reason， I didn't find much value in it because， I I picked this up from a charity store for 2 quid and thought hopefully， I can brush up on some of the learnings from B-school。 It's been a while afterall。I actually forgot how much stating the obvious sometimes these books get。 Having said that， there were some interesting parts to the read， especially anecdotes from the lives of some business leaders but one pays for that by wading through much that is tedious and rather repetitive。Maybe another reason， I didn't find much value in it because， I had read a few essays beforehand。 Like the one from Peter Drucker or the chapter which was essentially a summary of the book good to great。 All in all， pick this up depending on your state of being。 If you're the type of person who reads the HBR articles here and there anyways or keep yourself abreast with the industry at large， I'm afraid this book might not add much。 However， as I did in my first year of MBA， if you're a college student starting your course or you've found yourself newly promoted to a managerial position and do not have the luxury of time to read various books， go for this one。 Not the worst £2 I've ever spent personally。😊😊 。。。more

Very good articles， as expected from HBR， mainly aimed at executive leadership。 As one would expect， not all articles resonated with me， but some did and are more of must reads than others:- What Makes a Leader？ by Daniel Goleman;- What Makes an Effective Executive by Peter F。 Drucker- What Leaders Really Do by John P。 Kotter- Seven Transformations of Leadership by David Rooke and William R。 Torbert- In Praise of the Incomplete Leader by Deborah Ancona， Thomas W。 Malone， Wanda J。 Orlikowski， and Very good articles， as expected from HBR， mainly aimed at executive leadership。 As one would expect， not all articles resonated with me， but some did and are more of must reads than others:- What Makes a Leader？ by Daniel Goleman;- What Makes an Effective Executive by Peter F。 Drucker- What Leaders Really Do by John P。 Kotter- Seven Transformations of Leadership by David Rooke and William R。 Torbert- In Praise of the Incomplete Leader by Deborah Ancona， Thomas W。 Malone， Wanda J。 Orlikowski， and Peter M。 Senge 。。。more

Standard business advice。 One chapter is essentially a summary of "Good to Great"。 Not much of it is really memorable。 I'd suggest reading highly-rated individual leadership books instead of this anthology of essays。 Standard business advice。 One chapter is essentially a summary of "Good to Great"。 Not much of it is really memorable。 I'd suggest reading highly-rated individual leadership books instead of this anthology of essays。 。。。more

Yates Buckley ，

The content is a series of essays in recent leadership perspectives。 It is not bad information but it is also vague and generic。 I found it is possible to often imagine the exact opposite of the stated “key factor for leadership” when referring to actual historical leaders。 Worth reading but with grains of salt。。。

Yemi Awoyemi ，

Helpful to essays about leadership providing some clarity on management vs leadership。My top recommendations from the essays are:What makes a leader？ What makes an effective executive？ Why should anyone be led by you？Discovering your authentic leadershipIn praise of the incomplete leader

While working for 7 years as a director of 20+ company， I didn't know that there's so much to find out about leadership。 I always thought that leadership is how much charismatic you can be。 But the book opens such depths of science of leadership， that it complete changes the way you look at the topic。 Highly recommended。 While working for 7 years as a director of 20+ company， I didn't know that there's so much to find out about leadership。 I always thought that leadership is how much charismatic you can be。 But the book opens such depths of science of leadership， that it complete changes the way you look at the topic。 Highly recommended。 。。。more

Great read。

Filipa ，

I had a problem with this book: some of the articles focused on the same main argument although the authors structured it differently。 I would have enjoying reading articles that focus on different aspects of leadership and not so much about the difference between a manager and a leader or the different kinds of leaders。 The articles seemed kind of repetitive and redundant to me。
