El libro tiene una estructura muy adecuada y es muy interesante la visión de las cuestiones de liderazgo a través de la comunicación.
Me desilusionó el escaso desarrollo que se le dio a las películas que sirven como ejemplo de cada capítulo (Leadership on the big screen). Ahi hay una oportunidad de desarrollo muy atractiva.

You can’t learn leadership from a book, but you can learn the styles including what works and doesn’t. Therefore this book covers all the research for the last century or so on leadership. As such it is very good tool to work out why some styles of leadership (yours, your bosses) don’t work, and why other do.
This is the text for a Masters university course I am taking, so the book is of a very high academic standard.
The book is very in depth, but also very American centric.
I would suggest reading this book AND other books – such as “The 7 Heavenly Virtues of Leadership”. That way you can start to see the concepts and styles of leadership at a broader level to make up your own mind on the style that is most productive for you and your team.
