    5.0 out of 5 stars 3 Reasons Why
    Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2010
    An essential read for anyone who truly wants to understand the art of leadership. Three reasons why:

    1. The stories at the beginning of each chapter bring the concepts to life in ways that any manager can relate to - "Oh, yeah, I've seen that happen!"

    2. The 12 "planks" thoroughly cover ALL of what it takes to be a great leader - from leadership to Self (your own personal growth), to Leadership of Others (your relationships), to Leadership of Teams (tactical and strategic management).

    3. Each chapter includes exercises to take on (called "Making it Real"), which if you engage them will make you a better leader, guaranteed.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Both thoughtful and actionable
    Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2010
    This is one of the most thoughtful and, at the same time, actionable, management books I've read.

    I especially like the approach of starting with an internal self-examination of leadership qualities and strengthening those first. One has to start with that core, or none of the other theories of how to lead others will work, no matter how great they are.

    Also helpful is the delicate balance the authors strike between being aware of others' needs and at the same time holding them accountable. They take a very realistic approach to this difficult topic.

    I highly recommend this book to anyone in a leadership position or with aspirations to be a leader.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Choice to Lead
    Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2010
    Success with any endeavor requires passion, curiosity, study, and application. If you make the leadership choice and wish to have success, then this book will be your means. I have read a lot of books on leadership, and I can tell you that "Land On Your Feet, Not On Your Face" is the definitive source. I am a trainer for a large corporation and attribute the positive influence I have had on those with whom I have worked, as well as my own development, to this book.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Become a better leader...
    Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2010
    Land On Your Feet, Not On Your Face is a user's manual for becoming a great leader ... a primer for leadership effectiveness. In my management life, I come back to the ideas and exercises in this book over and over again -- whenever I have a management dilemma or issue. Every time I come back to it, I discover something new. Land On Your Feet is that rich. I'm a better leader because of it.
