I’ve been looking forward to reading this new book and it did not disappoint. I love the title because of the focus on Everyday People and common wisdom. ALL OF US can be leaders, regardless of our formal title. Back in the day, we used to talk about “Shared Leadership” Early on in my work with organizations the goal was to get everyone to be responsible for the success of the organization and thereby diminish the old school, hierarchical, top-down, leader-driven culture that was prevalent in many corporate, non-profit, government and community-based groups that were often built around the personality of the leader.
As I was reading this book, I came across this statement that parallels my work on developing wisdom in positive Influence Leaders, the more you use the techniques and suggestions in this work, the more likely it is that you'll have a positive influence on other people in the organization." This makes perfect sense.
The other thing that caught my attention because it is something that I value is the importance of sharing stories to bring home the message. Wendel does a great job of using stories to make their points in a dramatic fashion.
I recommend this book without reservation.
