Amazon.com Audiobook Review:
Despite the wealth of technical advances in the 1990s workplace, managing, motivating, and communicating remains a challenge. The Leader in You adapts the simple, time-tested management theories of Dale Carnegie to this high-tech environment with refreshing results. Read in an engaging but direct tone, the tape's pace is varied with excerpts from recent management studies and anecdotes from contemporary business leaders. It's a sound introduction to leadership skills for anyone working in the public, private, or nonprofit sector. (Running time: 1.5 hours, one cassette) --Sharon Griggins

- An Average Rewrite of Some of Carnegie's Original Principles
I am always leery when an organization uses the namesake of a best selling author in an attempt to recreate his/her prior success. The Leader in You did little to quell this feeling as it adds no new content and is without any of the masterful skill of articulation that Carnegie was so well known for.

The Leader in You is not without its value as many of the innovative principles Carnegie produced in his original works are evident within this book. However, why would one choose a secondary attempt by less qualified authors when the opportunity to read from the originals is available? I highly recommend picking up Carnegie's "How to Win Friends & Influence People" and passing on this particular book.

- almost complete re-hash of previous Carnegie's great books.
I am a big fan of dale Carnegie's books, but its disappointing that the publishers would like to cream the public their money by re-printing mostly the same stuff with different titles.

"How to win friends and influence people" and "how to stop worrying and start living" covers most of the content described in this book. i felt cheated when i bought and read this book. Looks like the publishers haven't read any of these 2 great books and gained some wisdom from them.

- rehash but may be a useful reminder
Stuart Levine and Michael Crom of Dale Carnegie & Associates, Inc. discuss their perspectives on the principles that Dale outlined earlier.

1. Be yourself, identify your strengths.

2. Be open, create an environment conducive to trust, see things from other person's point of view, listen well, and communicate tirelessly

3. Express genuine interest in others, recognize a job well done.

4. Teams: create a shared purpose, invite participation, share the glory and accept the blame, build team's confidence, be and stay involved.

5. Be quick to admit mistakes, slow to criticize. Be constructive.

6. Set goals that are clear, challeging and obtainable.

7. Focus, discipline, tenacity.

8. Balance work and leisure.

9. Positive mental attitude.

10. Reduce worry - focus on present, work out the ... Read More

- Collection of condescending cliches stressing the obvious
I found this book (I listened to the audio version) to be a major disappointment. The tips offered by Carnegie may have appeared insightful and provocative to assembly line supervisors back in the 1930s, but in the more enlightened 21st century a lot of his "good advice" comes across as irritatingly simplistic and sometimes even downright condescending and offensive. It's so easy and straightforward: Be nice to people, remember their first names, always be positive and you will instantly be liked by everyone. Overly obvious and trite - hardly the kind of stuff that would find its way into today's Harvard Business Review. Adding to the sense of irritation is the voice of the reader who tries to sound upbeat and optimistic, giving the whole performance the hollow feel of amateurish propaganda better suited to "Pleasantville" than to "Wall Street".

For more insightful, relevant and up-to-date advice, I ... Read More
