Honestly, I wasn’t expecting too much, but this book was a pleasant surprise. Super easy to read (didn’t even need coffee to get through it), and it’s full of practical advice that actually makes sense. I lead a team of volunteers and half the time I feel like I’m winging it…but this gave me some solid tools and a bit of hope that I might actually know what I’m doing. If you’re in charge of people and want to bring out their best AND make your mission move forward, give this a read.
