How we Lead matters
Reflections on a life of leadership
Marilyn Carlson Nelson   |  March 12, 2009  

By Reg Nordman

Marilyn Carlson Nelson was CEO of Carlson, which had brands such as Radisson, Regent, Carlson Wagonlit Travel, T.G.I Fridays, Carlson Marketing, and other hotel chains. This little book is very inspirational and  useful for any leader.  She goes beyond the obvious platitude method by applying every idea to a situation  she faced.  

I also enjoyed that each idea was prefaced by a short famous quotation that was very apt. I found myself re-reading the quotation after the article as well. The kind of book you put on your bedside table to inspire you each day. It does not have to be rushed through - but savoured. Truth has no need to be wordy.
