Excelent book, one caveat

The concepts in this book are great. The concepts are real, simple and executable. Readers are clear and credible. One big caveat is that the links referred in the book do not exist in the website.
I am applying these concepts as we speak and excited about it.

Highly recommend

The book itself may be a little boring but every leader should read and apply the disciplines!

Difficult to listen to

The concepts in the book are pretty good but the narration itself is challenging to get through. All three speakers narrate with a slight giggle in their voice at some point in every sentence. It does not make for more compelling, engaging, or relatable story telling. In fact, it is a distracting and pointless effect to add. Skip this audiobook and read the hard copy book instead.
