### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simple, clear, and effective
*by M***Y on December 14, 2025*

I appreciated how straightforward the author made the concepts. No complicated terminology, no confusing models just solid leadership principles. The story format helped me see how things fall apart when leadership avoids tough conversations. I’m already implementing what I learned and seeing results.
