Kevin Eikenberry and I met in December 2007 at 800-CEO-READ’s Pow Wow for business authors. His new book entitled Remarkable Leadership is impressive for the breadth and depth of material it covers. I’m not surprised. Kevin is an energetic individual who combines a passion for leadership with a bright mind and extensive experience. Reading Kevin’s book is like working with a great leadership teacher and leadership coach combined in one individual. The teacher in Kevin explains leadership concepts in understandable ways and the coach makes practical suggestions about how to implement the concepts.
The book is also user-friendly. It is well-organized into a logically-sequenced presentation of concepts and practices. Kevin’s positive attitude and conversational writing style make this book easy to read.
Let me mention several other reasons why Remarkable Leadership is a standout among leadership books. I liked that Kevin shares gems he discovered in other leadership books. It says a lot about Kevin that he has the humility and curiosity to read extensively about leadership and that he has the confidence and integrity to share with us what he learned from others while conspicuously noting his sources in the text. He gives credit where credit is due (like a remarkable leader should). Kevin emphasizes that becoming a remarkable leader is a journey rather than something that can be easily and quickly accomplished. He also encourages reflection, including the use of a Learning Journal. Throughout the book Kevin also points the reader to additional downloadable content available at RLBonus.com.
In summary, if you aspire to be a remarkable leader, you would be wise to purchase this book, read and reflect on its advice, and then put it into practice. If you purchase it soon, Kevin is including access to additional resources that you can find out about by clicking here.
