Usually, I reserve review space on this blog for books that are saturated with empirical evidence and still provide practical implications for everyday leadership. However, every once in awhile I’ll encounter a book that doesn’t claim any ties to research, but offers insights that line up with evidence.

The final section of Grossman’s book is to me, the most insightful. It is billed as a musical comedy and it was hilarious. Highly recommended. As a leader in the corporate world, creating that environment of unity is essential and clearly, I could not agree more.

If you have a manager who isn't the best communicator, you can suggest he/she read Jane Murphy's and Khatun Huber's book, What Could Happen If You Do Nothing? Actually, it's more of a handbook than a book, and it is best read by finding the section most applicable at the moment versus reading it start to finish.
