    Wisdom for Authentic Leadership

    Loved it. Narrator was easy on the ear and Bill George's concepts clear and concise with plenty of real life examples. My most memorable peice was Theodore Roosevelt speech 'Man in the arena' - excellent end to an excellent work!

    Good message, slow delivery

    A good message for anyone contemplating their own role and career as a leader, but a little too soothing in its delivery.
