Engaging, Informative, and well presented

The author clearly loves the topic, and brings a deep understanding of, and a wealth of experience in studying how leaders lead and how their intrinsic motivations affect their ability to do so. The final section, on how to improve one’s capabilities, is particularly well written. The narration flows smoothly, and is easy to follow. It communicates beautifully, without distracting us from the content.

If you have any interest in trying to become a better leader, or even simply trying to become better at what you do, it is well worth your time to listen to this book.

There are visual materials in the electronic and physical copies of the book that don’t come across here in the audiobook. Having them would definitely be of help, but I don’t think they are critical to learning what Dr. Kelner has to offer.
