I found Boundaries for Leaders so intriguing, that I needed to read it twice before this review was completed.  It's very easy to read and flows in a steady understandable manner.  It introduces the concept of realizing the power to influence others, when the appropriate culture/climate is established by declaring boundaries.  The boundaries being based on what's created and what's allowed.  While there is nothing earth shakingly new about leadership principles in this book, the applicability and straight forward presentation of the information makes it an enjoyable read and it projects a vision for the reader that these ideas really are doable in the live a day world.  I have read hundreds of  management/leadership books, but I actually found myself excited about this one.  I discussed the ideas presented in the book with others and developed a plan of action, implementing many of the techniques into both me professional and personal lives.  The book provides methodologies of developing boundaries, which ultimately are reflected by connecting, creating, and growing people, oneself included.
An excellent, practical read for anyone interested in leading others, as well as developing yourself in the process.
