About this listen
Leadership by Example is an accessible and inspiring guide to good leadership based on a popular lecture that Dr. Sanjiv Chopra has presented to thousands.
Very few of us are leaders all the time, in everything we do, but all of us can become a leader in specific situations. In a committee, in business, at a social club, or religious institution - we all find a time in our lives when we can lead. Few people set out knowingly to become leaders; rather, they see a need and find a way of dealing with it, and often others choose to follow their example.
Based on a talk that he has given to more than sixty thousand people in at least seven countries, the LEADERSHIP mnemonic that Dr. Chopra explains is as follows:
- L – listen well
- E – empathy
- A – attitude
- D – dreams and decisiveness
- E – effectiveness
- R – resilience
- S – sense of purpose
- H – humility and humor
- I – integrity and imagination
- P – principles, and willingness to pack other people’s parachutes
Drawing from his experience as faculty dean for continuing education for Harvard Medical School, as well as from the writings and lives of great leaders throughout history, this easy-to-read, inspiring book serves as a reminder and a guide to becoming leaders in our own lives.

Story
The first elected woman president of an African country, Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf was also listed as one of the world’s 100 Most Powerful Women by Forbes. This evocative memoir recounts Sirleaf ’s childhood upbringing and rise to political power in Liberia. More than a simple biography, Sirleaf ’s account details how she stood firm in the face of physical abuse early in life and carried that strength over into her career as a young economist in Samuel Doe’s regime.

Story
The defining experience of Chinua Achebe's life was the Nigerian civil war, also known as the Biafran War, of 1967-1970. The conflict was infamous for its savage impact on the Biafran people, Chinua Achebe's people, many of whom were starved to death after the Nigerian government blockaded their borders. Immediately after, Achebe took refuge in an academic post in the United States, and for more than 40 years he has maintained a considered silence on the events of those terrible years. Now, decades in the making, comes a towering reckoning with one of modern Africa's most fateful events.

Good review of leaders and leadership
Nice easy listen on the fundamentals of leadership. I really liked the examples of ordinary people becoming outstanding leaders... it’s a great message for those lacking the confidence in their abilities.

Inspiration
This little book uses real life examples of well-known "accidental leaders." I found it to be extremely pleasant and insightful. I highly recommend this book to all who want to prepare themselves for leadership. Leadership finds us even when we are not searching for it.

A memorable leadership book
This book caught me off guard as I wasn’t expecting it to keep me as interested as it did. It gave solid examples and explanations as far as how to inspire others in a team, how to build up your own team and leadership capabilities. It’s also not very long so it’s easy to take in the amount of information it offers in a short period of time. Personally I listened to it while driving for my former job as a delivery driver. It was a refreshing breath of fresh air with each new topic covered in each chapter.

Constant contradiction
Openly admitting he is working for the money but then upset because he’s fired for not caring about the company and only working for money is but one simple example of the constant contradictions.
I did not care for this book at all and do not recommend reading this book to anyone.
