This is a new book I’m reading by Raymond Foster and Andrew Harvey. It is the most unique leadership book I’ve read because of the analogies to poker. It is also very easy to read for me because I have a short attention span and the chapters are short (52, to match a deck of cards). They also have supplemental info stuck in the chapters; including explanations of the rules of poker and how these rules compare to real-life leadership, which is beneficial to me since I’m not fluent in poker. As Foster noted, “You’re dealt a certain hand. How you play that hand as a leader determines your success.”
I have personally been in contact with Lieutenant Raymond Foster and was impressed with his background as a retired L.A. policeman and for his knowledge on global terrorism.
So when I say this book is unique, that also means that I really enjoy it and recommend it for anyone who likes to learn from various leadership books. It is available on their web site and Amazon.
I just stopped by your blog and thought I would say hello. I like your site design. Looking forward to reading more down the road.
