Inspirational and genuine!

Drew makes us believe that day one of any challenge can be the beginning of a wonderful journey. The book collects an interesting retrospective on how to deal with 21st-century leadership. Excellent book!

This was not the best leadership book I've ever read, but it was pretty solid and had a lot of good advice. The text walked you through what you need to do to prep for your first day as an official leader. That said, it really focused on how everyone is a leader and about how important it is to build a strong foundation for leadership. You build your life each day with your choices. What do you value? Treat each day like it's the start of something new!

This wasn't my first time reading about leadership - but it was certainly the most interesting time. I took entire courses on training and leadership during my Master's degree, but this whole system is revolutionary, approachable, and applicable to anyone - NOT just CEOs or managers.

Drew Dudley's fun and conversational tone in this book and his ability to share personal anecdotes and other stories definitely illustrated his message in a unique and highly readable way.

I don't always turn to non-fiction in my reading life, but I am so happy that I picked this up and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for some extra motivation to start your own day one and live life to the fullest, regardless of who you are or where you hope to go. If you're curious if this is a book you'd be interested in, Drew Dudley's Ted Talk might be a good place to start. https://www.ted.com/talks/drew_dudley_everyday_leadership

In the book This Is Day One, author Drew Dudley tells of his journey to make each day important through our daily decisions. Dudley writes “The greatest impact you will have on the people around you and the organizations of which you are a part will almost always be a result of the unplanned consequences of your everyday actions.”
This was a good read with some very interesting stories. I would recommend this book. I received a copy of this e-book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I have seen Drew Dudley's TEDx talk "Everyday Leadership" and was excited to read to the book. I had hoped in the book it would be more of a practical guide for leaders new and old to provide a path to leadership. I was not disappointed, Dudley sets up a leader with a leadership game plan to build the correct mindset.

I wish I had this book when I started out in leadership over 13 years ago!
