Jim Stroup's Managing Leadership took me by surprise. I got in the mail last week and was intending to glance at it for a few minutes, but I am now hooked. I also felt compelled to write an Amazon review because this is a book that needs more attention. Too many leadership books are either unrealistic, full of nonsense, or
downright boring or useless. Jim Stroup has somehow managed to
transcend these hazards to provide us with one of rare compelling,
inspiring, and relentlessly useful book on the topic. I was especially
struck with his contrasts and deep exploration of leadership from the
rear, leadership from the rear, and leadership from within. This book has been around since 2004 and and is an
unappreciated gem. I wish I had read it earlier, especially when I was writing Good Boss, Bad Boss,but I am glad that I did
now. I just added it to my list of favorite boss books.

Always appreciate when you highlight the work of others – invariably it proves worth a read. That you took the time to tout this one on a Saturday, amidst what must be an overflowing plate of book release activities, testifies to your generosity both to other authors and the readers of your blog. As always, thank you. -

Chris, You are way too kind…from the inside, it feels like I have no control. I had no intention of writing anything about Jim’s book because as you say, I am busy and also I have to stop work for the day and spend some time with my family and get some exercise.. I just got distracted by Jim’s book!
