Review of Leveraging the Genetics of Leadership
Leveraging the Genetics of Leadership: Cracking the Code of Sustainable Team Performance covered by Daniel B. Edds explained an organized, systematic kind of leadership that not many industries practice. This leadership system focuses on an entirely different purpose covering the entire workforce. It seeks to change the mind of an average staff member, who works to earn but shows that they are also a voice and the leader, who is seen as an all-knowing-authoritarian boss.
This contributes to improving workforce experience and, in turn, improves customers' experiences. He gives some practical stories to explain this and talks about how this leadership system can work in any organization or industry. He explained how it is a system designed with a unique DNA to engage the entire workforce in resemblance to the human DNA.
The truths about leadership that I discovered in this book are stunning. They are in contrast to what I used to know leadership to be. It tells us who a true leader is, different from my former opinion. Furthermore, he illustrates companies and industries that practice transcendent leadership and personal leadership, respectively and their results. He also used diagrams to illustrate and support his points, especially when he talked about DNA and how it can be represented as an organized leadership system in any industry. The diagrams aided my understanding, and I found them amazing.
Daniel did something unique at the end of almost every chapter. He summarized what we should expect from the next chapter and summarized the previous chapter in the next chapter. I found this amazing. In the first part, I noticed before the preceding chapters how he gave a briefing of what he discussed in those chapters, making me look forward to reading it. Among other positive aspects, I liked the use of metaphor, as Daniel compared an organized leadership system to human DNA and body organs. He was able to create a similarity of leadership and human DNA.
The only negative aspect of the book was that the author repeated most of his points, though not intentionally. He summarized the following chapters at the end of the book and summarized the previous chapters at the beginning of the book. And I find this repetitive. I believe that someone who likes reading books repeatedly would find it boring and quickly drop it for another. This was what I considered negative.
I rate Leveraging the Genetics of Leadership: Cracking the Code of Sustainable Team Performance a 3 out of 4 stars. I withheld one star for the tedious way the author repeated the result of his studies and discussions. This book holds a lot on a better and more organized system. It was also professionally edited because I found only a few errors.
I recommend this book to CEOs, leaders in sensitive positions, business people, and workers. It would help reorganize their system of leadership, thereby producing greater results. No matter where the business or organization is, Daniel believes in this book that the leadership system can still be reorganized. It would help if you gave it a try.
