review 1: I borrowed this book from a colleague last year and finally picked up this year to read it. I just hadn't been in the mood for a business book, however, having cracked the cover I found it to be an enjoyable and practical book. There are some exercises but not too many so you can read it straight through without being distracted by what you should be doing with the content. I liked it so much I even highlighted certain paragraphs and wrote others down in my journal ... Oops, it's not my book! :)
review 2: Anybody who know me shouldn't laugh about this! I was introduced to Cy Wakeman by a college friend who is also a program director. I am not sure what was more important in this book, the reality based leadership style she promotes, or the authority/respo... morensibility that she installs to cut the drama. I have read and/or listened to arts of this book before. I recently listened to it again, in the car this time. It is a book that you can retread over and over in order to reinforce the meaning. Probably the best phrase I picked up to use for "those who tel me all about a problem in hopes thatI will fix it for them is, "good to know." It really works and absolves you from fixing their problems. less
