Reviews for The Leadership Moment: Nine True Stories of Triumph and Disaster and Their Lessons for Us All

Gripping adventure and actionable advice . . . Useem not only takes us into the experiences of others but also draws out striking lessons. --Fast Company One thoughtful work like this is worth a ton of new-age, self-help tomes that are high on fluff and low on scholarship. --San Francisco Chronicle A really good story is a time-honored way to show how leaders respond to extreme challenges [and] that's what Michael Useem delivers. --USA Today
