Average Customer Rating:
Too much of a historical document.
Customer Rating:
The content is rigid with a concentration in history. New leadership is more elastic and if women leadership is as shown in the book, it need to evolve. Any way is good to know many of the detail and person shown and described in the book.
Great book!
