The Inspirational Leader: Inspire Your Team To Believe In The Impossible

I love the step by step explanation, of how Great Leaders put their Care and Concern for Others in High Esteem. They are not selfish, boastful, and uncaring. They remember how and why they became who and where they are!

People are the most important in an organization. Gifford Thomas helps us to view the importance of investing in those individuals. Great and easy read.

So, before I bought this book I read a lot of reviews. The fact that it had so many high reviews was the ultimate decision maker for me. I follow Leadership First on LinkedIn and love the content they provide. With that being said, the content of the book itself is great. The concepts were clear, and the ideas were sound. However, I think it really could have done with some serious proofing. Missing or inaccurate punctuation, photos that look like screen shots, and several minor errors throughout disrupted what is in essence a great book. That is why I give it four stars. If it was more thoroughly and professionally proofed, it easily would have been 5 stars. However, the small errors throughout really took something away from the overall appeal. I still recommend the book for any leader, but be advised.

I would recommend this book for anyone looking to grow professionally in your field.Mr. Thomas’s insight is a great resource to use in highlighting your own path as a leader.

This book has some very good content. I manage in a High Performance Work System that is based in sales and service. Sometimes just giving people their targets to hit for the month isn't enough and I have to think outside the box to make it happen. I am constantly out in the field working with and helping to support them any ways I can, so I know the struggles of staying focused and inspired. This book has helped me to cultivate an atmosphere of believing the seemingly impossible at times is possible all the time.

Learned a lot and very direct

If you are brand new to leadership, or hoping to get into leadership, this is an easy and quick read that introduces many truths about the inspirational leader. If you have a leadership background already, you may be a bit disappointed in the way it is presented as an interesting but very high level overview without a lot of detail. Also, there are so many grammar and punctuation errors that you may find them distracting from the message - I did.

I enjoyed this book. Lots of highlighting and note taking. Several of the concepts I've used at work to build better relationships and improve culture. It's a small, simple to read book with good insights. I highly recommend it.
