Brady and Woodward offer a detailed examination of what defines a leader, the qualities necessary to fulfilling the role and the common path previous leaders have traveled toward achieving personal greatness. Initially self-published, this effort follows up the duo's earlier bestselling effort, Leading the Consumer Rebellion.
Contending that each of us has a natural wellspring of talent and ability buried within and will eventually be thrust into a moment requiring leadership skills, they lay the groundwork for being prepared to perform when that opportunity arises. The leadership concepts are strengthened by anecdotes like one involving the New England Patriot's quarterback Tom Brady, who led his team to three Super Bowl wins despite a resounding lack of confidence in his ability to do so. But quotes on leadership from sources as diverse as Mark Twain and golfer Tiger Woods, often three and four to a paragraph, can get distracting. The authors also occasionally get carried away with charting their concepts and awkward metaphors (e.g., driving against the traffic of mediocrity; avoiding the shoulder of frustration). But overall, this manual is one from which any potential leade - whether of a country, corporation or a small staf - could draw insight. (Oct. 22)

This book combines principles from many other leadership references, describes interesting situations where the principles are applied - many from the author's experiences; others from history, and presents a clear tool to assess where your leadership abilities are today. The book also clearly outlines a roadmap to take you from where you are today to where you know your leadership abilities can be. A fantastically entertaining read for a business book - but you know leadership principles can be applied throughout you life, not just in business. That's what is so cool about improving personal leadership ability!! Truly enjoyable. |

This is the best leadership book I have ever nstudied. It is practical, it is useful and it is instructional. Every person who wishes to excell in leadership should read this book at least 3 times and study it twice. |

Woodward and Brady have hit a grand slam homerun with their debut leadership masterpiece! This book is not only destined for the best seller list, it will also find its way onto the book shelves of corporate America, not to mention church, community and government leaders all the way to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. The easy to comprehend principals that are laid out here will help make an enormous difference not only in the lives on the readers, but also in the communities that they reside in.
I anxiously await the sequel!

This is the best and most comprehensive book on the application of practical leadership that I have ever read. Chris and Orin are spot on in detailing and explaining how to become an effective leader in any company or group organizaton. A must read for people that want to influence and help people succeed in all that they do. |

Launching a Leadership Revolution is the best book on leadership principles that I have ever read. I have read dozens of books on leadership over the years and never read anything so easy to comprehend in my life.
I truly believe a leadership revolution is coming and this book will be leading the way. I highly recommend getting this book and don't just read it, study it. You will definitely come away from it a better leader in your job, church, community or any other aspect of your life you choose to practice the principles taught by Brady and Woodward. |

Those who choose to read this book have taken the first step toward a better future not only for themselves but for the USA and even the world.
Those who choose not to dismiss it as just another one of "those books" and who actually apply the lessons taught within have taken the second step in creating an amazing world for themselves and others.
What remains? Vigilance. Stay focused and continue to use the Leadership Ledger to improve yourself and this book will not fail you.
Read it often. Study it. Mark it up with notes and highlite it. Physically destroy it by reading it so often and you will find something new each time.
I have passed out 5 free copies of this to friends and relatives who have all enjoyed it as well. (And I paid the $24 each. Glad they went down in price as well.)
Final Note: It is my understanding that 100% of all the author's royalties for this version of the book will go to charity. This can be verified by the authors and possibly the publisher. |

This is certainly not the first or last book to take a crack at unwrapping the topic of leadership development, but I have to say, it is certainly the best I've read so far. Not a breeze-through, more of a textbook, but so through and specific. This is the kind of book I feel inclined to get into the hands of every developing leader I can find, it is that good. I have learned things that have changed my life and perspective in this book. |
