Leadership begins from within. It is defined by a mindset, rather than a title or role. Leadership that stems from deep self-knowledge is magnetic, dynamic, and authentic. The challenge is knowing how to access the genius within each of us and find peace through self-knowledge, so that we can embody true leadership. When we accomplish this, leading feels easy and natural. Others follow and engage because the genuine connection that humans crave happens when we achieve alignment within ourselves.

Developing and implementing a strategy is the central task of a leader. A good strategy is a specific and coherent response to - and approach for - overcoming the obstacles to progress. A good strategy works by harnessing and applying power where it will have the greatest effect. Yet, Rumelt shows that there has been a growing and unfortunate tendency to equate Mom-and-apple-pie values, fluffy packages of buzzwords, motivational slogans, and financial goals with “strategy”.

Best all-round management book I read
It's fast paced and packed with insights that are still very relevant and actionable. There's no fluff, this book respects the reader and provides non-stop barrage of information. I'm excited to try the applicable advise from the end of the book.
As to the audio, the sound recording is good and the narrator has a pleasant voice that doesn't distract from the message.

Recent audiobook production of the latest edition of Andy Grove's classic, meaning that it includes Ben Horowitz's foreword from 2015. Much better than the original production that had been floating around.
Solid reading for business owners, managers, etc. and not only applicable for tech companies.

I'm not a manager, but I'm going to become one soon, and this book seems like it's got a lot of really useful information, but since it's not 100% relevant to me right now, it's hard to appreciate it fully.
if you're not a manager, try reading Extreme Ownership or something, that'll suit you better.

This book was amazing! It had great metaphors and analogies that went along with real world examples of managing tips that you can use at your own organization - even in 2022.
