Easy read with plenty of examples. Clearly presented, with useful advice. Thanks to NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review

This book is all about choices - and hindrances we need to overcome while approaching those decisions.

The best thing about this book is the fact that Mark does not simply state anything and has his readers take it at face value. He has done intensive research, which includes interviews with leaders about best practice, but also reading a lot of psychological studies touching his topic.

The book title promises four choices that should help leaders improve their leadership. If you expect something hands on, you're going to be disappointed - these choices are high level. But Mark is going to explore them to the depth for you, including concrete examples.

The writing was easy and allows for fast reading. It's also - typical for this kind of book - pretty optimistic. What was a little unnerving for me was the fact that often, Mark would say the same thing multiple times over the course of a few pages, every time slightly rewording it. Yes, I know repetition is a learning tool. But it should be done by the student, not the teacher. It's not a major problem - it just means a lost opportunity for brevity. Losing those repetitions could have knocked off a few pages.

In the end, it's a good book that delivers on it's promise of providing you with smart questions. But it's keeping the birds view, which makes it hard for me to follow (I'm all about the details).

Leadership is about a lot of things, and for me it's also about efficiency. In that respect, I felt Mark could have honored my time better by skipping the repeats.
