A classic book on leadership:
There is not much worthwhile to say about leadership that is not said in this book.

What a surprise!:
When I opened this order, I was totally surprised. I thought someone had made a mistake and sent me some advertising literature.

Duh!:
This was possibly the worst use of my money, EVER. Learned nothing new. Well, maybe I did learn that I'm already as good a leader as some of my peers, and a better leader than most since I found the "practices" in this short pamphlet (can hardly call it a book) to be no more than common sense.
Totally overpriced and overwhelmingly silly...:
This is a 12-page promotional piece for Kouzes' and Posner's books and Leadership Practices Inventory, a 30-item questionnaire about leadership, written in the breathy style of business-school literature. A true non-value. If you are interested in their work, buy The leadership Challenge (Jossey-Bass, 1997), which has the same editorial tone but at least says something.
