I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. A completely different perspective, opened up my eyes and taught me so much about being a leader. Ash has written a fantastic book that I think a lot of people would benefit from reading.

This book gives some insight into aspects of leadership and developing your own leadership practices. Thanks to the publisher and netgalley for an ARC egalley.

I suppose this book is trying to build the "everyday leader" and redefine what it means to be a leader, but overall I wasn't quite convinced by the author. I think the book was largely focused on just being present, building relationships, being a better person. While those are very important things to develop, and help build you into a better leader, I didn't quite think that the book emphasized ways to make you a "leader". It will help you be more outspoken, connect with others more, and believe in yourself, but there needs to be more in terms of leadership (leading an idea, and group, etc.). I feel like these aspects of the definition of leadership can't be overlooked that easily.
Self-help books are hard to write, I know. You constantly need insightful stories that capture your reader's attention, and connect you to them. While it was written alright, this one didn't fully do it for me.
