### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Wonderful and informative book...
  

*by D***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 24, 2021*

Well worth reading.....still this guy is so liberal for a corporate consultant.....he loves dysfunctional leaders such as Adlai Stevenson ( such a vacillating creature!) and Jimmy Carter (arrogant, obstinate, incapable and unable to make sound policy even with his own party in control), but despises Ronald Reagan (because Reagan was unable to rein in Congressional spending, which was controlled, after all, by Tip O'Neill, his Democrat nemesis). While much of his analysis is nonetheless good, it's wise not to take all of his conclusions too seriously. Still, through the concept of "mirroring" he can explain how many people much more intelligent than Adolf Hitler came to revere and follow that monster.

    Human Nature at Work
  

*by S***H on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 23, 2010*

I recommend this book to anyone striving to understand leaders, leadership and the organizational dynamics that surround leaders. The book is a little over 100 pages and an easy read. The author has experience dealing with CEOs and executives and this shows in how well grounded the book is in terms of the types of workplace experiences one may encounter. The book offers a typology of psychologically informed perspectives that peal back human nature for inspection and the leaders and leadership styles that arise many times from the darker side of human nature.  I especially enjoyed the chapter on Narcissism and the Exercise of Power and the concluding chapter that offers many insights into how an effective leader who merges self-knowledge and self-reflective skills can avoid the many pitfalls that come with holding powerful positions in organizations.  The workplace is everywhere and always an exceptionally hard context to understand and live and work within.  The insights in this book may make you feel less alone and isolated when it comes to understanding your experience at work.
