Each of the Disciplines is valuable on its own, but together they add up to more than a sum of their parts, and work synergistically to propel leaders to higher and higher effectiveness and companies to better and better business. From initiative, to planning, to community service, readers will gain deep insight into what separates the good from the great, and how organizations can nurture these qualities in their employees with leadership potential.

"Jeff Wolf's new book, Seven Disciplines of a Leader,
delivers major benefits for its readers. It very effectively
demonstrates how to build core leadership skills, improve decision
making, interpersonal relations, and teamwork skills, and reveals
techniques of highly effective and dynamic leaders. Jeff's background as
a highly regarded executive coach and management consultant qualifies
him as a business guru you want to listen to."
—Edgar Tu, former President, Home Entertainment of America, Sony Electronics
"Jeff Wolf, in his new book Seven Disciplines of a Leader,
has given us a comprehensive list of the many ways that the aspiring or
current manager can sharpen his leadership skills in order to be able
to compete effectively in today's challenging business environment. He
covers a lot of ground, but running throughout his work is a much-needed
emphasis on the importance of clear and pervasive communication from
the highest corporate level to the inner workings of the smallest team.
As he makes clear, failure to communicate clearly and accurately will
doom even the brightest of leaders. If the reader only learned this one
lesson, it would make the book most worthwhile, but of course, it
contains so much more."
—John A. Warden III, Colonel, USAF(retired), President of Venturist, Inc., and author of Winning in FastTime

I thought I'd be able to speed-read this book, but I actually really got into it. I've never read a self-help business book before, but I am already familiar with a lot of the techniques. I still found it an excellent read, and it provides useful examples, albeit slightly saccharin. I like the way it's laid out and it's easily digestible format. I've already recommended it to a couple of friends.
