- Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2023This book provides insightful, cleaver, and accessible guidance on a practical approach to leadership. Filled with humor and fantastic anecdotes, each chapter focuses on an area of concern for leaders and then drills down with short, easy-to-digest lessons and principles you'll surely want to adopt! D.M. Hawkins's approach is modern and commonsense-focused - which is truly uncommon these days! I highly recommend it.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2023Down to earth, practical style with a hint of humour. This is a great resource for managers of all levels and experience.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2023Love D.M. Hawkins writing style - really critical topics written with ease, humor and clearly from a position of expertise. The principles of pragmatic leadership outlined here are timely to our changing professional landscape - and as noted within common sense (that is truly uncommon these days). Cats walking across keyboards, finding the mute button and PJ’s as the new work casual - who hasn’t experienced this. But nonetheless leadership can and should adapt and embody these principles - your workforce will show you what they are capable of if given Pragmatic Leadership! GSD!
- Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2023… until this leadership book! As someone who has been in a senior leader position for over a decade, this was an absolute breath of fresh air. D. M. Hawkins hit this one out of the park - realistic, practical, fun to read, and just perfectly spot on!
