Her emphasis on empathy and the uniqueness of individuals aligns with the evolving demands of modern organizations.

While the book is concise, some readers might desire a deeper exploration of certain topics. However, its brevity also makes it a practical guide for busy professionals seeking immediate insights.

Easy to follow, full of useful real-life experiences, anectodes and recollections all bundled together to create an interesting book great for prompting thoughts about meaningful leadership that focuses people and recognition. Highly useful for anyone focusing on developing workplace culture.

I am not a fan of self-help books, nor do I have any connection to cheerleading - but the subtitle intrigued me, so I decided to give it a try.

It is a very slim book, but well worth reading. I agree with most of the advice. It emphasizes the importance of trust, accountability, collaboration and motivation; caring and respect; positive and constructive feedback. I think every leader will benefit from learning - or being reminded - of these things, especially when managing multi-generational teams.

Thanks to the publisher, Amplify Publishing, and NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book.
