the_norx's review against another edition
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.

Read late Feb early March 2023. Good advice but was not in the headspace for it. Plan to finish some day.

I listened to the audiobook, which was narrated by the author. It feels like she’s shouting the book at you - even with the volume down.
The book has a lot of great information, and I loved how she explains the concept of rock stars vs. super stars. That was a light bulb moment in recognizing where I am in life and where my direct report is. Some of the information is not as easy to apply and feels overwhelming, so it started to lose me.
Overall, it was a worthwhile read, but not a favorite.
