I loved the beginning of this, but I'm not into the feedback from men. I don't remember his name, but one had a "Shut up and listen" tip about how he realized he was awful at listening...um, yeah? AMAB individuals are conditioned from birth to ignore, dismiss and pathologize women, then they share ish like "be willing to ____" and "listen!" like they've uncovered uncharted genius territory, but it's so basic and menial/mundane, while also being specific to people assigned male at birth who identify as men and enjoy the privileges society gives TO men.

After that bit, my experience with the book began going downhill. The tips continued to be about having a growth mindset -- a new buzz term for what is actually toxic positivity.

In summary, the gist of advice from this book is to be a human engaging in toxic positivity and perpetuating the crab-in-the-bucket theory by encouraging people to follow the rules, even though *you* as a leader do *not* follow the rules, because leaders have the privilege of being a leader?

There are a handful of neat nuggets here, but they're not new ideas/concepts to society. The first half of the book was good. I can't go beyond 65% because I'm over it.

Great case studies, tools and tips. Crosses many sectors for profit, non profit, media, metrics and more. Good learnings for executives and senior leaders. Thank you to the authors.. Thank you to #netgalley and the publisher for an ARC.
