Key messages from the book:

Quite an easy read, lots of animations and informal writing make this quite an enjoyable book! Here’s my key messages from the book

Delegating doesn’t mean that you abdicate responsibility: Take responsibility for results and don’t be afraid to ask for what you want out of people. You can do this in the right way through setting clear goals and helping your team reach those goals

What do you need help on? Become aware of your own strengths and weaknesses, including your positive and negative leadership behaviours. Are you quite forceful or permissive as a leader?

How do you communicate? In communication, showing the intent behind your message is important. A helpful structure is to communicate with a headline message, measuring the pace of the message and summarising; I tell them what I plan to say, I tell them and then I tell them what I just said

Who would love this book:

Someone looking for a quick read on leadership, either as an introduction to becoming a leader or to refresh your knowledge!
