This book is a great introduction to field leadership.Oftentimes a tradesperson has a thorough understanding of the technical skills necessary to successfully execute a project but does't fully understand or posses the communication skills, organizational methods, discipline, or the qualities of character required to be an effective leader. This book gives an excellent outline of what all these skills working in unison should look like and how to develop each one.The text is to the point with no unnecessary filler. Each chapter begins by outlining its objectives and giving the reader a clear understanding of the concepts that will be conveyed and the goals of the chapter. The flow of the chapters and their content follow a straight line with no vagueness. It would yield itself equally well to a classroom setting or for the individual.An indispensable tool for anyone who has a desire to be in a leadership position or an individual who is already in a leadership role that is interested in improving their abilities.
