It can be pretty dry though.

Good read, but dry
I like HBR. I had to read this for a promotional test. It's good for anyone to read. Especially in my profession. It can be pretty dry though.

The Most Impactful Book in my initial career out of college in leadership/management
I am young in the workforce by definition. I work in the Silicon Valley tech scene and very quickly promoted to a leadership position as our young company scaled. I personally think management books are very bias and you need to be careful on which lessons you heed and by whom. Additionally, this book strays away from individual perspectives on the subject and focuses more on the qualified research over decades of material presented to the Harvard Business Review. Personally speaking, the book taught me the most on leadership and management and I 100% performed at my peak after applying these principles with my team. I will not spoil anything, but there is one specific lesson I could reference form this publication that handedly changed my career, but I'll save it for those determined to strengthen their corporate arsenal as I did.

Used as a textbook in an EQ class
HBR books are always great. I like how they introduce you to each topic, provide case studies and examples, and wrap up key take away points in highlighted sections.

Outstanding book
This is a great book. Based on my experiences during a 40+ year career, much of what is said is true. The book puts a number of emotional issues encountered in the workplace in their proper perspective and provides insight into dealing with them in a mature, productive manner. The book is an easy read, I read it on a cross country flight.

Hair in my book….
So I bought this book “new” and when I opened the cover, there was a bunch of hair in between the cover and the first page… straight hair, about 2 inches long, a fair amount of it ( like a big pinch with all fingers) I don’t know how to feel about this…
