Kevin Eikenberry (photo left) recognizes the importance of interpersonal skills for developing remarkable leaders. The ability to communicate with others and to empathize with their problems and aspirations are essential to becoming a responsible leader. At the same time, the author understands that lifelong learning is crucial to continual improvement of a person's internal leadership skills. Because leaders are made, lifelong learning is a key part of maximizing those abilities.
For me, the power of the book was in the understanding of leaders as being made, and then providing a step by step process for that leadership development.
