Summary: Great Leadership Book!
Comment: I was assigned to read Leadership Jazz by Max Depree. The first chapter really grabbed my attention because Depree had a way of relating everyday experiences with a way to better himself as a leader. The book began with a story about his granddaughter. When she was a baby, a month premature, the nurse told him he must caress her back and tell her that she was loved so the baby would put the voice together with the touch of her grandpa. He says, " A leader's voice is the expression of one's belief and a leader's touch demonstrates competence and resolve." I thought this was a very good way to introduce the topic because it really makes people stop and think what leadership means to them. I was very impressed with this book and I would suggest you read it!

Summary: Superior book by Max DePree
Comment: In Max Depree's book, Leadership Jazz, the importance of both the leader and the "follower" are explored in great detail. DePree chooses to not only relay what a leader must be in order for an organization to be a success, but he also focuses on what type of employees must be present for a company to achieve a goal. This book goes beyond the normal management book that dictates how to lead with rules and procedures and delves into the communication and respect that must be present at all levels at all times. It is an excellent guide for what should be contemplated, considered, and carried out in a thriving, team-based operation. This book is one that individuals should definitely consider reading if they are looking for this type of material.

Summary: Ok Leadership
Comment: The Max Dupree book was ok I guess. I read this book for a Communication leadership class and it has some good points and a few that were no good. Dupree writes the book so that about anyone can read and understand but is no thriller. It is based on some solid leadership principles but not all of them. It does give some insights on how to be a more effective leader in the future. It does however have too much emphsis on the "touchy-feely aspect to leadership in my opinion. I probably would not have read the book had I not been assigned but it was not bad but not that good either. What I am most confused about is the use of she and not he, What is up with that?
