Obvious but edifying techniques include storytelling practice, journaling and building a network of well-nurtured relationships. Eikenberry also offers online resources (“Bonus Bytes”) tied to specific points in the text, available on the book’s web site. A solid leadership primer, this book will instruct, if not exactly inspire, anyone looking to manage others more effectively” Publishers Weekly Annex, September 2007 [ [http://www.publishersweekly.com/article/CA6476798.html?industryid=47263 Web-Exclusive Reviews: Week of 9/10/2007 - 9/10/2007 - Publishers Weekly ] ]Other reviews [ [http://www.nypost.com/seven/10222007/jobs/the_pleasure_principle.htm THE PLEASURE PRINCIPLE By TORY JOHNSON - Jobs - New York Post Online Edition - New York Post ] ] include:“Kevin Eikenberry has poor timing.And he cuts in line.And, oh yeah, he makes you think.This may sound like a really odd way to start a book review, especially a very positive one. I received Kevin's book, Remarkable Leadership - Unleashing Your Leadership Potential One Skill At a Time, late last week. I wish he'd been a little earlier. I would have changed my reading list for the new leadership class I'm teaching this fall (hence, the poor timing).” [ [http://carpefactum.typepad.com/my_weblog/2007/08/kevin-eikenberr.html carpe factum: accomplishment integration management ] ]
“Regular visitors to the Turn will know that I have been talking about Kevin Eikenberry’s new book, “Remarkable Leadership” for some time; in fact anybody that knows anything about leadership has been talking about it – and finally the big day is here at last: I requested special permission from my great editor
Doug Hanna to return for one post, so that I could be part of this “Remarkable” day.” [ [http://www.leadershipturn.com/its-a-remarkable-day/ It’s A Remarkable Day ] ]Education and training
