Quick tidbits for being a great leader...

Good ‘nuggets’ of information while incorporating track record of some proven leaders. Not as detailed as I was hoping, but will serve as good reminders.

Yes!!!

I really enjoyed this book. The author kept it simple, direct, and Impactful. The stories used to support his position on leadership fit, and it really shows that you don’t need a million page book to make a million dollar impact. One of best reads I’ve had this past year. Thank you..

Lame collection of quotes from other authors.

What would have made You Can't Send a Duck to Eagle School better?

Actual content based on experience. This is a load of cheesy quotes from other authors and plugs for other books.

What could Mac Anderson have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Written a book about employee selection based on talents, skills...

How did the narrator detract from the book?

No he was fine.

What character would you cut from You Can't Send a Duck to Eagle School?

No character to cut. Just quotes

Any additional comments?

Lame
