In my present job, I have read and reviewed many of the leading business books. This is the book - along with Wayne Baker's Success Through Social Capital - that I recommend that our law students read first. It does an excellent job of conveying important concepts in a direct yet profound manner.This is one book that I will spend my own money to buy - and one that I will give as a gift to friends and family. The Gifted Boss is also excellent and highly recommended.
