I really like the MOI (Motivation, Organization, Innovation) model he uses to address leadership. There are plenty of good techniques in here and the questions and the end of each chapter really help in the change proccess. If you just read the book then you aren't getting as much out of it as you could. I found the few disparaging remarks about psychologist out of place and the book could really do without them, but they aren't distracting enough to detract from the topic at hand. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

I lead an IT Business Unit for almost 8 years (in a SAP R/3 environment). Some of what Weinberg talks about resonated with me. Weinberg’s approach is as much about therapy and self-help as leadership. The best part of it is when Weinberg explores the reasons why he’s even writing the book at all. “Introspection” is the keyword here and I agree with it. If one wants to be a leader, one has to be visualize it. It seems bullshit, but it really works. I can vouch for it... It’s not a snake oil pitch…
