This is useful guidance for anyone hoping to become a true leader.

I wasn't sure what to expect going into this, but this book turned out to be a solid listen. The author keeps things simple, clear, and straight to the point which I actually appreciated. There's no fluff or over-the-top jargon, just real, actionable advice for becoming a better leader in both personal and professional settings. The structure of the book makes it really easy to follow. Each "secret" is broken down into manageable chunks, and most of the points felt grounded and relatable. If you’ve read a ton of leadership books, you might find some familiar ideas here, but Burns brings a fresh clarity to them that makes the content feel more approachable and less like a lecture.
As for the narration Whispering Waves Audio did a decent job. The voice is calm and professional, though maybe a little too soothing at times. I wouldn't have minded a bit more energy or variation in tone, but it didn't distract from the content. Overall, this is a great audiobook for someone who's newer to leadership or just wants a quick, motivating refresher. It’s not overly long, and it feels like you're getting practical wisdom from a mentor rather than being preached to. Definitely worth a listen if you're looking to grow as a leader.

I have noticed that a lot of managers and administrators lack leadership skills. I personally earned a Masters degree in business management a couple of decades ago. At that time it seemed like there was a lot of competition and an abundance of qualified leaders. Not so much today. As just one example from this book: listening skills. How does a leader expect to solve problems without listening? You certainly can't build a team and loyalty without it. And yet ask yourself just that one question, how well do leaders listen in your organization? Well, may managers learn principles of leadership from this book. They are much needed in today's organizations.

Listened to this on my drive to Redding for a medical exam. Solid leadership advice with clear and practical strategies. Felt personal and encouraging throughout. It did get a bit repetitive at times, but not enough to ruin it.

I love the emphasis on productivity; specifically, focusing on one single task at a time instead of trying to take on the whole ocean, which inevitably leads to stagnation. Boy, do I know that feeling.

Minimizing distractions, being consistent, making decisive choices, simplifying... these are just a few of the key topics this book tackles effectively. It’s packed with practical techniques and easy-to-remember rules you can start applying to your life right away.

A great listen for aspiring leaders and anyone looking to build more confidence in every area of their lives.
