I read it in one sitting — recognizable, complete, and made concrete with stories. Especially very useful for beginning managers, despite the ambition that even generals might still learn something from it. It’s foundational knowledge that’s good to absorb rather than spending years figuring it out yourself.

For a long time, I kept wondering what the real difference is between leadership within government and leadership in general, but as I read on, the passages that convinced me gained the upper hand. It truly is a profession of its own.

I am not a manager within the government, but within elderly care/the social domain, and I’m reading the book with great interest. What especially appeals to me is how you can manage content, people, and resources in an integrated way. How you can use your own behavior to achieve team goals. A valuable book — thank you.

Almost read it in one go – clear, relatable, and practical. Highly recommended for anyone who leads (or wants to lead)! (Comment on LinkedIn)
