today is Tuesday and G day. Guess what, I am going to do a review of a book by an Australian Woman Writer.
I have just had the privileged of reading this book
22 Leadership Fundamentals: The Door to Success says Push!
and it is one of the rare works to receive a five star rating from me.Alison Y Vidotto has produced an outstanding piece of work that I would unequivocally recommend to anyone wanting to improve their leadership skills and their life.
Mrs Vidotto gives clear concise signposts to leadership in her 22 leadership fundamentals and intersperses these with real life anecdotes of her own life including the disasters and mistakes that she very intelligently took stock of and learned from.
This woman walks the walk and talks the talk. She does not pull back from the hard decisions nor from ownership of the responsibility for her own actions. She has built her own success on the foundations of the lessons she has learned in life and shares these in a very readable manner.
I am feeling a tinge of envy for her family and her work colleagues. I would be honoured to have a woman like her as my own mentor. It is a wonderful thing to read what could have been a dry and boring self help book and discover a story about one woman's journey to success. She acknowledged the people who have supported her along the way and in a warm and open manner takes us into a glimpse of her life. The work she has done to help others is amazing and in so doing has enriched not only her own life but the lives of probably every one she encounters.
I am going to reread my copy so I can learn how best to PUSH open the door to success. Do yourself a favour and read this book.
