review:

This book makes the point that the opposite of leadership is drama. Illustrations given show the triangle of drama and the triangle of leadership and what can be done to get yourself away from the drama, and how each point in the drama triangle is counteracted by one in the leadership triangle.



The book also talks about the power of taking control of your decisions. When we give others the power of our decisions, that's when drama can rear it's ugly head in our lives. We can be helpless when we give away our right to make decisions.



There were examples given, but the examples were used over multiple chapters and felt a bit repetitive. There is an assessment at the end of the book that can be used to determine your level of drama. It's nice to be aware of the drama created by yourself in the workplace, but better would have been more strategies when dealing with drama from others. There are some, but more comprehensive would been nice. Also, while this is a helpful book for people struggling with drama in themselves, I'm not sure they would be inclined to pick up a book like this and read it. The title is great, but perhaps a little off-putting for someone really in need of this kind of help.
