I recommend Dr. Alexander’s book with great enthusiasm. It is filled with important, applicable information and many “pearls” from his own experience. The chapters are focused and short, and the first chapter, “The Short Read,” is a must-read for all of us as are the “Take-Home” summaries at the end of each chapter. This book will make you a better leader!
