Nils has done an amazing job in this book of breaking down difficult concepts (often nebulous) that surround leadership into a framework that you can make progress with. You often read books that are "pie in the sky" but this book clearly wants to give you a sense of forward progress.

I recommend this to any stage leader - this will force you to look at all aspects of you in order to pick the right path forward.

Regardless of whether you're an aspiring leader, new leader, or seasoned, this book has really great frameworks and lessons that you can implement right away.

I tried several and saw immediate results, which is so refreshing! To know that I'm walking in the footsteps of effective leaders by incorporating these strategies in my own leadership is incredibly reassuring, and gives me confidence to build something great!

Nils' specialty is his ability to break things down to bite sizes and share exactly how to get from point A to point B. This book breaks down how to think like a leader (leading yourself) and instill leadership qualities in your day to day tasks and actions (leading others).

He breaks down challenging concepts managers typically struggle with (ex: difficult conversations, managing up), and he walks you through practical ways to better approach these situations to drive better results/ outcomes. I am requiring my whole team to read this book.

I recommend this to any stage leader - this will force you to look at all aspects of you in order to pick the right path forward.

This was a great read, it really goes into depth about how to self reflect and use that self reflection to become a great leader. The playbook gives you very specific rules and guidelines to follow to help you evolve as a leader and really build a team that's inspired, motivated and feels valued under your leadership.
