Review of Loss and Discovery
Posted: 25 May 2022, 17:45
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Loss and Discovery" by Russell M. Linden.]
Loss and Discovery is a non-fiction book by Russell M. Linden. It offers pages filled with self-explanatory notes, advice, and direction to people in authority or leaders on how to lead during times of disorder in their organizations.
Russell begins this book with change, and how it starts with communication. With several biblical passages and messages of the Torah, Russell thoroughly explained how a leader could influence a change no matter the circumstances. He went on to write about how people would avoid change and how a potential leader should be able to manage it.
Russell, using Moses's style of leadership, explained why a leader should listen to a voice other than their own. Another area he delved into is how a leader can lead indirectly. During times of upheaval, Russell succinctly explained what a leader should do. What are these things a leader does to manage the affairs of his organization during a time of disorder? Why would somebody deliberately avoid change?
This book has a lot of positive aspects. The writing style of the author was unique. As a work of non-fiction, I thought this book would be boring, but after reading the first chapter, I was intrigued. The way the author used biblical stories and some of his true-life events to explain his points made it more beautiful for me. I like that the author was able to explain with stories as backup why some of his points and ideas worked and why others didn’t. I love the way he was able to get commentaries from different recognized dignitaries at the end of each chapter.
Also, I love the way the author analyzed most of the biblical stories just to prove his point. He made me see some of the stories in the Bible in a different light; for instance, I saw Josiah's story from a different perspective. After seeing the references and bibliography at the end of this book, I admire the amount of research Russell put into this work. I learned about change and how individuals react to it. I was also able to learn various principles of leadership. Frankly speaking, with the amount of knowledge I gained from this book, I think I can take up a leadership position at any organization. The words used in this book were all relatively easy to understand. I was also able to learn a few words. I learned words like rambunctious, effulgence, aridity, amygdala, dopamine, and so on.
I found minimal grammatical errors in this book. This shows that it was professionally edited. I found no negative aspect to this book. I would commend the author for a job well done.
Therefore, I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. This book deserves a perfect rating. It was captivating and above all contains very few errors as I mentioned above. I enjoyed everything about this book. I learned a lot about leadership from it. I recommend this book to leaders and people who want to take on the position of a leader. This book is generally suitable for readers who wish to learn more about leadership.
