5 out of 5 stars Magic of No Excuses   August 18, 2005

5 out of 5 found this review helpful

This is a terrific, and terrifically wise little book. The message of having a "leadership" perspective--no matter what your title in your organization--is simply liberating. Being able to use the Situational Leadership II model to influence up is inspirational. So often we wait around for someone or something else to make it all happen...no more! My favorite is Points of Power. I never knew I had so much influence over my success and happiness. Wonderful!

5 out of 5 stars Leadership for the rest of us!   September 9, 2005

This sassy little parable turns leadership upside down. Leading yourself? Fantastic idea! Why would I wait for someone else to tell me what to do and how to do it, never mind why I oughta do it? This book showed me how to set meaningful goals, what I need to do at each step of the way, and how to keep going when the going gets tough. And not just on the job. My 15-year granddaughter went through a student version of the self leadership workshop and used the concepts to make the tennis team at school. Nice of the management gurus to share their precious little secrets with us.

I selected a variety of management books to browse at a local bookstore. This was the second book I picked up from the stack and I didn't get to any of the others. I couldn't put it down. Because it was such a quick and easy read, I finished it in the store!

When I finished I felt better about myself, my position at my newly formed software company, and how to push through to complete my large goal list. I will definitely be adding this book to my library. My friends and coworkers will be receiving copies as well.



5 out of 5 stars Eliminating Victimization   September 5, 2006
Jim Martin
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

One of the main problems with most organizations is the amount of victimization throughout; blaming everything and everybody for ones problems. In delightful story form, this book shows how one can go from being a victim to self leader. The book gets at the very foundational factors that allow us to learn and grow and shows how we can use our power to lead ourselves and others. It is a must-read for everyone.
