I'd certainly have a great time enjoying a book like this, one that deals with leadership and the consequences of its absence: company results and more importantly, the people.

Unfortunately, power abuse in the business sector is on the rise right now. This book is an excellent choice for readers in the corporate sector because it discusses what happens following such an event.
I've seen the consequences of power abuse and might as well myself engaged with it at some point in my career, so this sounds like a nice read to relearn and unlearn.

Also, I agree that control shouldn't be given to someone with little to no experience. That's the start of chaos. Thank you for writing a thorough and insightful review!
In the flesh I have experienced what lacking experience can cause to the detriment of the company and people.

This review explains how with power comes responsibility, but power in the hands of those who do not know what to do with it or how to use it, can lead to disaster. The book seems intense. Thank you for the concise review.

In a world where people are giving up their morality for money, this book is a good reminder that a strong willed person cannot be corrupted. I appreciate the author for having the courage to uncover his experiences without fear of intimidation.

I love how this book encapsulates how people who are granted with powers from the higher position treat those who are less of them. The issue tackled in this book is very much relevant in today's society.

The review of "The Intrepid Brotherhood" by Gordon Graham and John Desimone offers valuable insights into the book's themes of leadership, corruption, business ethics, and public affairs. It effectively highlights the oppressive atmosphere that emerged under the leadership of Charlie Hosken at Chelan County PUD, shedding light on mismanagement, misuse of power, and failed projects. In my opinion, this review provides a well-rounded perspective on the book, effectively conveying its key themes and the impact of Charlie Hosken's leadership. It highlights the importance of ethical leadership and serves as a compelling recommendation for potential readers.
Sincerely,

The review is, indeed, a great one. The main theme of the book is thoroughly described. I am not fascinated by such business stories, though. I would pass it on this time.
