This book was useful to me to some extent, but while reading, I kept thinking of prior supervisors that really could benefit from a book like this. It point out the glaring reality that we are judged (and rewarded) by our skills and not our emotional maturity or awareness, but it should be an entire package. Really interesting read!

Immensely insightful and practical. The type of book emotionally unfit leaders should be required to read, and not allowed the keys to the c-suite or trips to Aspen or on corporate jet until they have fully committed to an emotional fitness regime.
