This book may have value to someone who is new to leadership as it shares general concepts and direction. I you have been managing for years you may find that there is no depth for you to expand your technique or skills.

It was not the best book of Ally Condie's that I have read; but it was cute and short. A nice beach book .
One With You
LOVED this book! This series was both alluring and sensual. It is not a typical love story; but a story of a deep passionate love that is so familiar and connected that it drives everything you do.

That Summer in Sicily: A Love Story
It was a tough book to get into. The beginning was very vague; but once the story line appeared, it got more and more interesting. The ending was unexpected; but made the book even more appealing.

Great book! Spencer Johnson never fails in telling a meaningful story. I enjoyed every moment of the book and plan on using it for mentoring and leadership development.

I had seen the movie and enjoyed it. The book was a nice companion to fill in a few areas and make them more interesting. This book was like eating candy while soaking up the sun.
Atlantia
Great storyline that drew me into their world, and made me feel like they were my family and friends. if you like hunger games types of stories, you will probably enjoy this book.
Calico Joe
It started off in a way that was hard to connect with, as it was not the traditional Grisham book. As I continental to read, I felt more engaged. The ending was predictable, yet pleasing.
The Call To Live A Symbolic Life
Caroline's books are like candy to the soul. They have great information that can be immediately applied and thoughts that rest with you to be revisited later. The timing of me reading this book was perfect and her message compelling.
Rising Strong
Disappointed with this book. She has good points; yet lost me the stories she shared. On one hand I heard her say that she is rising strong, and then I hear the way that she does her self-talk. It was so full of anger and revenge. I appreciated that she shared personal experiences; but this book seemed to talk more about the negative then rising above it. What I did get out of the book is that "everyone is doing their best", and none of us is perfect. We need to respect ourselves and others. Be brave and "rumble" to resolve conflict and hurt feelings.
