Summary: A true book on leadership!
Rating: 5
Over the years, I have read countless books on leadership... but, none compare to this one. Charles Garcia has done a fabulous job of capturing real life examples of leadership displayed in the midst of a critical situation.
Sadly, most of today's leadership books focus on positive thought and fancy phrases from perfectly packaged people. As I read the book, I was struck by some key principles that seemed evident in each of the profiles.
My parents always said, 'show me, don't tell me'. Garcia clearly shows the reader, not just tells them. Leadership is seen throughout and having the context of the situation allows me to see how I can learn and apply the lessons in my daily life.
Mr. Garcia, homerun!
