      Excellent book, really enlightening to read. Thank you, this was an absolute gift to me and my family. God bless you!
    • 4/5
      A very good book from Ken Blanchard and friends. Leaders must be willing to learn and grow if they want to be effective. I agree with this 1000 percent and that pretty much sums up major theme of this work. There is quite a bit more a leader can learn from this recommended work, you just need to be willing to learn...SLT
