Review of The Radical Edge: Stoke Your Business, Amp Your Life, and Change the World (Hardcover)

Steve Farber has done it again. The Radical Edge takes off where the Radical Leap left off and it does take off. Filled with practical and depthful advice, The Radical Edge is a promise fulfilled. Farber has a way of presenting powerful ideas in a simple and straight forward fashion that speaks directly to making positive business and life choices, and he does so with a level of humor that makes this book a great read. Not only is the parable that drives this book well-thought out, but Farber's execution is excellent. This book and the earlier one may be focused on the business audience, but they provide wonderful and insightful advice for anyone who believes that living a successful life has more to do with who we are and how well we relate to others rather than how much stuff we can accumulate. Farber has really nailed what it takes to live "the good life." Now all we have to do is amp it up.

Review of Love Leadership: The New Way to Lead in a Fear-Based World (Hardcover)

As a student of leadership and a voracious reader of more than 100 books on the subject, I would like to compliment John Hope Bryant on writing a book that I believe ranks among the best that I have read. Love Leadership is an outstanding inaugural writing effort from an exciting new author.

This book is an easy read, but it's points of emphasis are anything but leadership lite. This is heavy weight, substantive, material. The concepts of Love Leadership apply to everyone who leads and since leadership is everyone's business - this book is suitable for everyone and applies to everyone.

My particuar favorite among John's leadership principles states "No storm...no rainbow." You can't have one without the other. I used that concept personally this evening when coaching a young man who was experiencing some personal stuggles. This individual needed leadership, but he also needed love. John's foundational beliefs enable the reader to easily and seamlessly apply both effectively.

The book is interesting and well written. Mr Bryant writes with passion, energy and enthusiasm. He also writes with skill and knowledge.

This was a page turner that I read in two days. When I put it down, I couldn't wait to pick it up again. I am a highlighter when I read and I found much to highlight in this book. His precepts are right on target. They are meorable and I will reference them often my role as a leader and a teacher of leaders.

John brings a bold, fresh, and courageous approach to a well documented, well researched, and frequently written about subject.

I have have discussed this book with my friends and I enthusiastically recommend it to others.

Read Love Leadership...you won't be disappointed.
