Customer Reviews

A great tool for college students ready begin a career.

As a college band director, we continually look for ways to improve the manner in which our student leaders approach their responsibilities. In looking for a guest speaker for our pre-season camp, this book was recommended as a great resource. We decided to purchase copies for all the student leaders. At the pre-season camp, we worked through some of the fundamental concepts in the beginning of the book and concluded with the five pillars of leadership. When our last session ended (10:00PM) some of the leaders said that they were going back to their rooms to work on goals for the remainder of the week. With guidance (a speaker) this is a great tool for college students ready to begin a career. After all, they are our future leaders and the tools gained from this book can make them more effective leaders and, for the companies in which they lead, can produce, as Mr.Meyer says, "a maximun multiplication of effort" from those that they lead. We highly recommed this book.

A terrific guide to leading and managing others!

Most leadership books tell you how you should lead...without giving you the tools. This book is an exception. Meyer, Houze and Slechta tell you exactly what to do and when...without guesswork. Their concepts aren't theories...they've applied them in real-world situations and circumstances. I suppose what impressed me most is the idea of a Servant's Heart - putting your team members and their well-being ahead of personal or organizational profit. If more American business leaders had a Servant's Heart, we wouldn't have to deal with apathy and indifference in the workplace. Bridging the Leadership Gap is an extraordinary book.
