"Quiet Leadership" book by David Rock - Short Review

I have a love/hate relationship with this book. It started out strong/interesting with a scientific look at the brain activity but finished off rather weakly with information that felt duplicated throughout the book.

Overall, I've enjoyed this book and manage to test some of it's excercises even if I'm not currently in a possition of power (everybody is a leader right?)
I was surprised at how accurate the conversations were when comparing them with the examples from the book.

Now the question is - Should you read it? My answer to that is a definite "yes" for the first half and a "no, but you should still read it anyway because you'll learn something that'll help you" for the second half.

You can get it on Amazon here:
