Debbie Brewster is an executive whose work group is failing. She begins meeting with a mentor her company president who helps her discover the secret of great leaders. In this accessible business fable, Debbie learns five ways in which great leaders can actually serve their followers and takes her team from worst to first.
This unimaginative audio handbook falls back on a tired business training technique: telling the story of an imaginary employee who just can't seem to lead her team to excellence. With its plodding style, the book, as delivered by the patient, well-meaning Adamson, leads us through two CDs of information that could have easily been conveyed on one. This is not to say the content lacks merit, but a rewrite to update the material would enhance the production. D.J.B. (c) AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine
