It gave me a lot of interesting food for thought should I ever go down the formal management path. The concept of Ruinous Empathy was probably the most useful thing I took from this book; useful both in and outside of work contexts.

I really appreciate *most* of the advice given in this book. The approach is closely aligned with nonviolent communication and there is recognition of nuance and understanding differences based on race, gender, cultures, and other identities.

Great book, but like so many of its genre has one great idea and then gets a bit repetitive.

I have mixed feelings about this book. I think some of the advice is really helpful. I also think some of it is trite. It's definitely a book that helps you reflect on the good or bad bosses in your career and identify what you do/don't want to be when you're in that role. But it likely isn't implementable - in the framework Scot puts forward - in my current job/industry. Also, I have a hard time really romanticizing the leadership of Steve Jobs and Sheryl Sandberg. She knew them personally so I can't discount her experience - but the public version isn't as clean as she wants it to be.
