This is an interesting concept; using leaders in Bible as an example of leadership appeals to me. I am quite sure that there’s lots of wisdom stored on the pages of this book. Also, reading this would probably help me to see certain Bible characters in a completely new light. Thank you for the lovely review!

"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." -People tend to accept it more if it's backed up by proof or a story of personal experience. Also dignitaries have a status, a degree of power, so their commentaries are priceless. Hence the author has combined one with the other quite well it seems. An exceptional review. Thank you.

Thank you for a great review. The leadership guide based on lessons from the Torah seems unique to me. It also seems like it would be good to read a different perspective to Bible stories. Congrats on BOTD to the author.

I am not interested in books with a religious message, but Christian leaders might find this book useful.

The passages from the Bible and Torah are of the most interest to me. I am not really a leader but the mention of how you can indirectly lead by making choices are invaluable to me. Nice review.

That's incredible. Although no one enjoys change, it is crucial for everyone—especially leaders—to be able to cope with it and prosper in it. Best wishes on BOTD.

It seems like a great book for aspiring leaders, especially for someone who is already a staunch follower of Bible, they will appreciate this guidance of leadership through Biblical stories and real events from Russell’s life. Lovely review!

Great review! It convinced me to read more than the sample. I love the author's style, sometimes even humorous..."And the serpent doesn't fare any better". Finally, I will understand some passages of the Bible ( I don't mind if it is the Torah, the wisdom is the same).

Good stuff, right here. I took the liberty of reading the first dozen pages or so, and as I had been a manager during a very disruptive time (911 in NYC), I appreciate the concepts discussed in the book. I'd like to offer a hearty mazel tov to Mr. Linden on his achievement.

This is a captivating book on leadership I think aspiring leaders should emulate. Without God, there are no other possible ways for someone to lead well. Nice review

I’m not a leader of any organisation yet but I think this book will prepare me for when I’m in a leadership position. It’s always better to gain knowledge even before one ventures into a leadership position.
