Great leadership book! Easy read and made me really look at myself and others in leadership roles around me. - Judy B
I would recommend this to all no matter what type of leadership role you are in. It was an eye opening concept. - Craig C.
I enjoyed reading this book. Very insightful with a little bit of humor. Made me realize that I am fortunate to work for a great company/people (leaders) that follow this philosophy.
I love Wendy's no nonsense approach to leadership. I can see where I have fallen on both sides of the spectrum and the impact it had on employees. Thanks for keeping it real. - Anna T
If you want solid, straightforward advice from an HR pro about leadership, this book is for you! Ms. Sellers is charming, funny, and honest. Great read!
Great book with concise, direct tips on how to be an effective leader and how to interact within a company with different personality types.
This short book covers topics ranging from personality styles (how some personality styles rub people the wrong way) to communication (which almost always goes wrong) and lack of common sense. Chapter 10 is an "Acting Lesson" which challenges you to change (but only for 15 minutes a day). This thought-provoking book emphasizes that you must shut up and listen to be a leader people will follow. Her second book on dealing with crappy leadership and jerks at work is also available on Amazon.
