The author has created a resource that can be used by people at all levels in their leadership success journey. Detailed real-life examples made the lessons real. I thought the reflection questions and chapter summaries gave the reader the opportunity to relate to current scenarios in their own lives. The next step is to see how asking questions, participating in different conversations, and asking more questions can affect the working relationships and the short and long-term outcomes. Whether it is through increased communication or delegation, you can observe improvements. I have learned that one leadership style doesn't work in every situation, and part of being a respected leader is being able to adapt as a result of the team, the environment, and the constant impact of changing technology. Excellent Resource
