If this book in not required reading for your promotional exam, I would skip it. There is nothing unique or exciting about this particular book other than primarily common sense. In my opinion, the author saw an opportunity to write a book and regurgitate information that is already out there. This book does not fill a void specific to the fire service, nor does it adequately connect with the reader and hold your attention.
The writing style is not polished and lacking more detailed examples of leadership traits other than his close personal connections. If your looking for a quality leadership book, try John C. Maxwell’s "21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership"
This book is a must read for all officers and aspiring officers. It’s different since it goes over all the things to make you a great leader. Highly recommended and if you get the chance, go one of Chief Viscuso’s seminars which was excellent.
Chief viscoso did an excellent Job ! , didn’t found such a good source of personal practical tips! , must read books for fire officers and especially the ones how wants to be true leaders and not just firefighters with ranks – and that’s A LOT DIFFRENT!
