Some advice is good advice after all...

THE BEST LEADERSHIP ADVICE I EVER GOT is not one of those blockbuster business best-sellers touting some hot new management fad that every corporate hero wannabe latches on to and quotes from religiously (and annoyingly) until the NEXT business book hits the bookshelf. What it is, however, is one of those classic gems that the smarter-than-average business reader keeps within arm's reach of his desktop to read in a spare moment or when he needs an idea or inspiration. And that's just what readers find on every single one of the just over 100 pages of Paul B. Thornton's new book: Sensible advice from seventy-five business leaders (representing a wide cross-section of industries) on topics such as integrity, courage, focus, perseverance, and change. To conclude each of his chapters, Thornton briefly summarizes the broad lessons put forth by his subjects and challenges readers with a couple of questions to help personalize the information and to inspire action, but it is done quickly, succinctly, without being preachy or pedantic.
