Andrew,
I haven't read it, but I do use it from time to time and have found it
useful. I loan it to my leadworkers and managers who really have little
authority, but are quite skillful at influencing members of their teams.
I think its' use of scenarios is practical for their use.
Personally, I'm most profoundly influenced by Greenleaf's
"Servant-Leadership," especially The Ethic of Strength. I'm convinced
listening is the most pragmatic of leadership skills, and very influential
on others.
