I'm on my third reading of this great book! The first two were to get a better handle on general knowledge, and the third reading will take about a year as I concentrate on one principle at a time for one month. Always one for situational awareness of both threats and observing what's going on around me at work, this book helped me better assimilate what I see into meaningful information regarding process control and workforce viability. The exercises are significant because they combine related ideas and theory into valuable skills! Every person, male or female, who wants the most valuable leadership skills at work and home should read this book! Even if you are not inclined to become a leader, the information within this book will enable you to become a much more effective communicator, especially those with ADHD!
