Amazon.com has far better books
Having already done extensive reading on charismatic leadership and the unique role of language in this ambiguous process, I was disappointed with this particular endeavor. It was too basic and shallow to be of any practical guidance. Certainly effective leadership depends on much more than the creative use of metaphor, analogy, and the like. I strongly suggest other books that take the idea of language and leadership much farther than this work, and with a much more academic, thorough and compelling approach, including Jay Conger's work on charismatic leadership (The Charismatic Leader: Behind the Mystique of Exceptional Leadership, Jay A. Conger, Jossey-Bass Publishers, 1989)

Dry
This book was pretty dry with nothing really vivid to pull me into it. The conversations were hard to follow because they were out of context. Similar Products
