The Feiner Points of Leadership: The 50 Basic Laws That Will Make People Want to Perform Better for You

Customer Reviews:

A book on leadership that's worth reading and keeping

By Srikumar S. Rao - June 9, 2004

I know this guy. He is one of the most popular professors at Columbia Business School and his course is one of the highest rated. Students struggle to take his course. I discovered this first-hand when I found my own teaching assistant despondent because she didn't get in and there was no other course being offered that she could get excited about.The same skills that make one a great professor also can make one a great leader. Feiner cares about his students. If one is absent without explanation, he calls to find out why and if she is OK. He tells them exactly what he will do for them and what he expects in return. And then he does more, much more.Feiner's basic thesis is that Leadership is all about managing relationships. A great leader has a web of relationships - with subordinates, peers, superiors, clients, external agents like journalists and analysts, and a host of others.

Summary: Hands-On Leadership Tool-kit

Feiner provides tangible and functional suggestions (he calls them "Laws") throughout the book that are simple and memorable, and thus easy to apply. (Note: The concepts in the book can be applied at various stages of one's career.)

Another reason the book is effective is because the author has taken the viewpoint of a lifelong career and leadership "coach." This differs from other books written by famous leaders, whose advice is often only applicable to someone with... read more

One of the best books on the market

By Marie - October 13, 2004

I had this guy as a professor at Columbia (no, he didn't put me up to this). His was by far the best management class I ever took. I'm so glad to see that he's compiled all that great insight into a book.

It's good, solid, practical advice that you can use almost as a handbook. No lame parables, no hyperpunctuation, no facile consultant's tips.
