Leadership guidance for all! December 12, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
As a performance psychologist and business success author and coach, I've followed Dr. Larina Kase for years. I highly recommend that you subscribe to her value-packed newsletters.
Here's my confession: I bought this book under the guise of a birthday present for my 14-year-old entrepreneur so he'd be sure to read it...but once I started reading it he had to fight me for it!
This book, in Kase style, is grounded in cutting-edge research (singing my song!) yet written clearly and engagingly enough to appeal to my budding leader teenager. The personal examples and interviews with successful leaders in a variety of fields adds to its appeal.
So young entrepreneur or older executive, pick up this book by Dr. Larina Kase today and take a quantum leap in your personal journey toward being exceptional ... and embrace that as a leader, you will take many others with you!
To your success!

A Top-Notch Book November 23, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
As a licensed psychologist, I read a lot of self-help books so I can make informed recommendations to my clients. This is one that I'll definitely recommend. Firmly grounded in cutting-edge research (which I found not only relevant but interesting and insightful) Kase lays out a clear and practical approach to help the reader go from "effective to exceptional" and then grounds it all in a variety of real-life applications. Her writing is highly engaging, accessible, and a pleasure to read. I particularly appreciated her willingness to share personal examples from her own professional journey: clearly Kase not only talks the talk, but has walked the walk. I also found the interviews with other leaders in different fields to be quite valuable. There's much here to benefit from. Well done!
Fabulous Book on Business Leadership November 22, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Dr. Kase has packed an amazing amount of information into this compact book on business leadership. As a psychologist, I am always on the lookout for books that I can recommend to clients who feel stuck as business owners or high ranking executives. At last, here is one that I can recommend with great enthusiasm. What's more, because Dr. Kase bases her book on sound psychological research, her written words reinforce concepts that I share verbally with my clients--a really welcome change from other leadership books that are based on anecdote. As for myself, even though I run a very small business, I definitely run into obstacles of my own making or otherwise, and I am certain this is a book I will pull off the shelf again and again to get perspective and ideas for moving forward with my vision.
A Powerful Perspective October 1, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I highly recommend this book. In it, Dr. Larina Kase reveals a powerful perspective on how we develop and what contributes to success in our lives and in our work. Weaving together stories from her clients with psychological research, Larina helps us see our own tendencies objectively. She explains that in a situation where you are reaching beyond what you have done before, natural discomfort arises in your experience. What we do with that discomfort or anxiety, is a key factor in how much we flourish in life. In my opinion, this objective perspective and insight is a gift, because it liberates our potential to change how we respond and grow. Where before we may have semi-consciously shied away or defended ourselves from this natural discomfort (in a myriad of ways detailed in the book), now we know how to interpret the experience differently. And Larina also lays out a simple, yet comprehensive system of development, or "GROWTH" process that enables us to change.
Not only is the perspective powerful, but Larina takes care to help us immediately take action--for each insight revealed in the book, she gives us action steps. To top it off, the book is full of interviews with experts who have demonstrated the effectiveness of the growth mindset in their own lives. Sharing their insights on the subject matter fills out the book and makes it a rich resource that I will keep coming back to again and again.
.
This is no ordinary business book. Thank you Larina for bringing your depth of understanding as a business psychologist and executive leadership coach to bear on every page!
Misleading title - not just for "leaders" September 24, 2008
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I almost didn't order this book because the word "Leader" didn't particularly resonate with me. But I really liked Dr. Kase's other book, The Confident Speaker, so I decided to give this one a try. After glancing at the table of contents, it became clear to me that this book is for ANYONE who wants to grow. I liked that the book looks at the person as a whole and recognizes that everyone (including the most successful) has habits, fears, and beliefs that keep them from succeeding even more. I am impressed not only by the breadth of techniques the book covers, but by the clear, systematic, and well-defined action steps that walk you through fighting the usual things that keep us from being "exceptional".
I am always looking for ways to grow myself, my business, and inspire my clients - this is a book I would definitely recommend.
