Recommendation
Author and Chick-fil-A vice president Mark Miller presents a book-length teaching story – a fable – about learning to lead. He dispenses leadership wisdom through the story of a career-oriented, personal journey. His protagonist, Blake, interacts with different people while learning the meaning of true leadership. Miller explores the core of “leadership character,” without which – despite other gifts – no one can lead. Miller’s readable story, while deliberately and comfortably predictable and simplified for novice leaders, is easy to digest and offers many valuable concepts about leadership qualities. getAbstract recommends this basic, accessible primer on the essence of leadership. If you’ve read Miller’s books written with Ken Blanchard – The Secret: What Great Leaders Know and Do, Great Leaders Grow or The Secret of Teams, you’ll be right at home here. This is an equally useful, straightforward and structured lesson.

5 years agoI like this quote a lot, “the future has not yet been written – it is written by leaders.”

7 years agoI appreciate the point about leadership being a matter of the heart. You can do all the mechanics of leadership, but true leadership is about "being" not just "doing".
