Bringing Your Business to Life Book

This book is extremely useful to me because I have shied away from politics previously.
I feel this book is a realistic application of emotional intelligence. A lot of it is how to read people and assess the situations before reacting to them. It is useful that the author provided questionnaires to assess the reader's own leadership and negotiation styles. The analytical side of these is very appealing to me.
Another aspect I appreciate about this book is the empirical approach to the subject. It is all meant to be an experiment that involves making a hypothesis and testing it. The constant action, observation, and feedback are what makes a master. It is liberating to learn that I don't need to be a master to participate in the game.
There are many examples in the book. They are analyzed so that the readers can look for signs in similar situations. Also in places, several different potential responses are given and analyzed so that the readers can think more about their own answers and expand their repertoire to be more flexible.
Highly recommend to a novice in politics. There are some actionable items, but not too many. Most of the book explains the situations from different perspectives that are new to me. For the political savvy ones, this book might be shallow. But I would not know that.
