Title: Remedial and self-indulgent
Review: Nothing new in this book. If you've done any reading on leadership, it's unlikely you're going to get anything from this. I did find it interesting to see how leadership techniques worked in an organization I cannot relate to so it was an interesting read nonetheless. Wholly self-indulgent however, and the author tends to repeat the same points over and over (yes, we get it, the job of a ship's captain is operational readiness - I didn't need to be told that 100 times over).Net: If you're an experienced leader looking for an entertaining read it might be fun. If you're a new leader you'll probably find some things useful in the book.
