This book consists mostly of stories about how male CEOs in America transitioned into other jobs that aligned better with their values. It's not surprising that male CEOs were able to do this. How do regular people who aren't CEOs do this? There is also no regard for how difficult the job industry is right now. It's not very groundbreaking and pretty idealistic.

While this book isn't super relevant to me or my career - it did give me good ideas for leading where I am. I am no CEO, but there is good advice in here and there are plenty of examples of professionals who readers can learn from. From failures to successes, Bill George includes great examples of some of the best leaders in the world. I am not even a middle manager and I have only managed interns, so a lot isn't applicable to my career. But maybe someday that will change and I will remember the lessons learned from this book. I will definitely keep this book on my book shelf and hope to refer to it again someday!

I read this book as supplemental reading for an educational leadership academy cohort (I just finished it late). While
I think the boom had great gems and things to put into practice I had a harddddd time relating to all of the millionaire and billionaire CEO’s and organization founders. I’m a blank woman who is a social worker in education lol lol so it was a bit hard to get through.

Leadership starts with being authentic, the genuine you.
If you are guided by an internal compass that represents your character and values, you re going to be fine. Let your values guide your actions and dont ever lose your internal compass. Everything isnt black or white. There are a lot of gray areas in business - Sara Lee B
Rather than waiting to get to the top to become leaders, they looked for every opportunity to lead and to develop themselves. Without exception, these leaders believed being authentic made them more effective and successful.
No one can be authentic by trying to be like someone else.
The hardest person you will ever have to lead is yourself. Once you are fully comfortable with who you are-and feel good in your own skin-leading others authentically becomes much easier.
Authentic leaders who follow ther True North have learned from their crucibles and setbacks. They ve the resillence to resist pressures and seductions.
Your life story is your foundation.
1. How you frame your life story -> reflection
2. The risk of losing your way
3. The role crucibles play in shaping your leadership
(Your most significant and your most painful experience present the greatest opportunities for your personal growth)
