Quiet Leadership ~ David Rock

This is my third book for this project and well, frankly I'm excited to see what it has to offer me in terms of new or repeated information. If it is repeated then I'll know that there are common themes between people and that the information must be important. It's akin to what they say about the bible - how when things are repeated, or there are patterns then they are important.

Cover:
From just looking at the cover I get a pretty strong sense of what I am to find in this book. "Help people think better - Don't tell them what to do!" Is located directly below the title and so that seems to be what it will be about at first glance.

Inside Cover:
David Rock identifies his understanding of the frustration that comes with going around in circles as a leader and his goal to help break that cycle. This is a "brain-based approach" is to help improve the work of the leader and his colleagues. This book provides a 6-step guide to do so and so that you (the reader) can perform at their best.

Introduction:
In this introduction the author explains his intent to explain the 6-step guide for quiet leadership and helping to create better interactions between people. He also uses a disclaimer to show that he is going to use very scientific terms... but try to explain them all the while. (hmmm... this may be a deal breaker, we'll have to see...)

Notes:
There are some useful exercises that I might use! Look for them in later posts... I think that these are all that I'm going to use from this book due to the content.
