Connect: Building Exceptional Relationships with… di David Bradford Ph.D.
A small but quite a good read. Reinforces the VIEW (vulnerability, impartial, empathy, wonder) way of life deep and personal connect with people who matter to us.
A number of good points but could have been significantly condensed.
A qualified "pick" for this one. It's better than most self-helpy books, and I appreciate how much variety they offer in their examples, including examples of relationships that maybe aren't destined to become "exceptional," but the example dialogues feel somewhat contrived and biased towards a particular way of living life (full-time career, going for drinks with friends) that feels a little limiting. And right now my difficulty is with establishing friendships rather than growing them, so the utility of the suggestions for me is less than it might be for someone else. There's also a misattributed quote at the very beginning of the book that felt sloppy to me and probably colored my experience of the book as a whole.… (altro)
This, too, was a breakthrough book on leadership written in the early 1980s. It’s primary message was that great leadership has less to do with heroic efforts and more to do with creating conditions where others can rise up. Great leaders facilitate culture, teamwork, and strategic execution. This book challenges the prevailing myths of leaders as all-powerful and all-knowing and offers a much more attainable and realistic view of what leadership is and can be.
