After reading most of the introduction, I realized I wasn't in the mood for this book.

I haven’t actually enjoyed a leadership book as much as this in ages (maybe ever?). It moves at a good pace and is super readable.
It doesn’t challenge old leadership models much as it could - or talk about more participatory and democratic forms of leadership at all. That makes sense, Litman works in politics - but I was a little disappointed. And, again because Litman’s experience is east coast politics, she doesn’t directly address the Gen X mistakes of big tech.
So there’s a lot of good stuff out there that isn’t in this book. Everything that is in the book is useful, though.

I really liked this! I've read so many management books written by older white men, it was refreshing to read something that felt more relevant to me/my generation. This is the first leadership book I've read has talked about things like how to use social media, how/whether to be friends at work, and how work is just work even if you love it.
As always, not everything will be relevant for everyone and every workplace but I'd recommend this if you are a "next gen" leader or might one day be one, if you're managed by one, or if you manage any millenial or gen z staff.

I work in progressive politics in the midwest and felt that some of the content was distinctly "big city." I think Litman did an excellent job asserting right away, though, that the book was simply what worked for her. It's moderately simple to apply some of the general concepts to management styles and strategies in other cultural zones within the US.
A good read if you're new to progressive politics, millennial managering, or other "how to make the world suck slightly less for everyone" industries.

I was hooked at the intro but felt the rest of the book rationalized and even disguised capitalism ethos with its insistence on why this way in leading will have great benefits for the organizations/businesses. I was probably expecting a critique similar to what she described at the beginning and to just run with it by rebelling against all forms of heirarchal systems operated by a select few in power.
