Leadership Made Simple
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This book was recommended to me by Bill Bonnstetter of Target Training International, Ltd. It has been a constant companion to me when coaching my executive clients on leadership. I have coached senior managers in a Fortune 500 corporation for the past six years and this book has been a wonderful resource because of its simplicity and clarity. Many of my clients have applied the five steps in differing settings and have benefitted from the immediate results. This book is the best practical guide to problem solution for the busy leader. Thank you Ed Oakley and Doug Krug for this success-based approach. Lyn Cikara, Executive Coach, Manager's Success. [...]
Readers ought to examine the Leaders

If you want to know the quality of a book, it is useful to look first at the author. So, a book on leadership ought to come from a good leader. Right? Ed Oakley is such a person. I've known him as a colleague for decades and I've seen him in a variety of situations. He is a person worthy of your respect. He is savvy and focused when it comes to succeeding. He is interested in others and a caring friend. He's a generous guy who willingly shares his ideas and offers encouragement. I trust him. Therefore I trust his works. What he and his trusted coauthor (whom I don't yet know well) have done is clarify the real issues in leadership. Not the lofty strategies but the simple concepts and tactics that will make a difference for you. This is a book that is easy to read and profound in its solutions. Follow these leaders and you will be a better leader. Jim Cathcart, founder, 101 Leaders Alliance author: The Acorn Principle
Leadership-Real Answers
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I think we all have a view on leadership and what it means, including me! I was delightfully surprised in reading Leadership Made Simple by Ed Oakley and Doug Krug. They drew me in right away and I found myself taking notes in the book-something I haven't done for a long time. I really enjoyed their section on "The Answers Are in the Room" and specifically, when they wrote: The quality of the answers you get depends on the quality of the questions you ask. Many times I've wanted to blame others for my lack of quality questions. They provide eight questions that the best leaders ask consistently and frequently-and give readers real world insights. I think whether you are a young manager at a Starbucks or climbing the ladder at Alcon Laboratories, you will find some great insights and solutions to your management challenges. Enjoy this book!
