Redesigning Leadership is a gem of a book, and like a genuine gem
is compact, short, succinct and a pleasure to read.-Mohsen
Shahmanesh, Design Talks
It's short, beautifully designed and produced...There's none of the usual guff that afflicts the genre. Intead, clear crisp prose, a lot of common sense, and some points that were either new to me or worth reaffirming.
