1 A comprehensive exploration of leadership
The all-star cast alone should be enough to recommend the book - virtually every top thinker in the field is here (though aside from Bossidy, not a lot of first-hand accounts from CEOs). The chapters range from practical advice to thought-provoking theory, giving readers a solid overview. Leading and managing can be daunting tasks, so it's nice to have a resource which puts it all in one place. They've boiled each topic down to the essentials, so there's no fat even at 600+ pages. Overall, a (mostly) engaging read and a useful resource for any leader's bookshelf.

Quote of the Day:


Quantum Mechanics is a lovely introduction to Hilbert Spaces!

-- Overheard at last year's Archimedeans' Garden Party

"I think the sky is blue because it's a shift from black through purple
to blue, and it has to do with where the light is. You know, the
farther we get into darkness, and there's a shifting of color of light
into the blueness, and I think as you go farther and farther away from
the reflected light we have from the sun or the light that's bouncing
off this earth, uh, the darker it gets ... I think if you look at the
color scale, you start at black, move it through purple, move it on
out, it's the shifting of color. We mentioned before about the stars
singing, and that's one of the effects of the shifting of colors."
