A viewing guide to help leaders focus on their own development and set their internal DVR to WOW!

The fictional world of TV depicts a plethora of characters who embody what Sheri Staak calls ''WOW leadership qualities.'' (Incompetents are not in short supply either.) Drawing from classics and recent favorites alike, she showcases heroes--from All in the Family to Seinfeld to 30 Rock--as well as villains--from The Sopranos to NYPD Blue to Breaking Bad--to illustrate her insights in entertaining and vividly memorable ways.

Far from taking a conventional approach, Staak posits that whether you're a veteran executive or an aspiring manager, you can learn a great deal about becoming an extraordinary leader by tuning in to popular TV programs. She's selected specific episodes that pinpoint what you can do (and should not do) in the workplace to invest in others, constantly improve your own skills, build trust, and earn respect. She supplements those ''Tune In'' features with practical lists of key actions to take to strengthen the character traits every top-notch leader must possess. And for times when you're faced with an issue such as broken trust or poor communication that must be repaired, Staak draws on her estimable experience to suggest implementable, effective solutions. Those bulleted lists, plus the exercises she calls ''WOW in Action,'' will help you quickly evaluate where you stand in comparison to the WOW ideal.

Be you a Millennial or a Baby Boomer, you'll learn how to become the type of effective communicator, confident visionary, inspirational motivator, agent of change, and bold decision maker your direct reports will proclaim to be a ''great boss.''

Leaders are not born. Experience is the best teacher in my opinion. Without the leaders from television this book would be just another leadership book. The lessons are common sense in my opinion when is comes to leadership. The use of the television leaders makes a nice compliment and gives more value to the lessons. It is written very well. I like the format. Buy one or twenty for all the WOWS and DUDs in your life. You dont have to tell them which one they are , the book will.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Read. Lessons of Leadership Taken From TV to Real Life Application
Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2015
It is nice to read a management book that keeps your attention, and the writing inspires you to put the action steps into action. The author guides us through her unique approach of exploring core leadership qualities through a different lens - television shows. Her use of some of our most recognizable TV shows as a backdrop, to help the reader see leadership at its best and at its worst, is brilliant! The episode recaps are intriguing. She shares practical and actionable steps, taking common leadership challenges and opportunities from perplexing to doable, with solutions for real-life application. She provides several thought-provoking examples that really "tune" you in for self-reflection and inspiration. The TV shows approach is a good one. A final note, this is more than just a management book, it is a "being the best people" interaction book. Truly refreshing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Different!
Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2015
Certainly this is a different concept: attempting to teach leadership strategies and good practice through the use of fictional television characters.

It is not such a crazy idea as it sounds, even if many of the references might not travel so far from the USA. The author has probably suffered a lot of television viewing for the sake of her art and this book. Many of the programmes – both old and new – will be known to viewers worldwide, and for the times where you don’t recognise the programme or the character you can still chow down on the leadership advice.

This reviewer was sceptical to the general concept and pleasantly surprised by its execution. Many present-day television shows have passed on by, as so much “modern television” just is not attractive. Although by taking an example from a series that was compulsive viewing as a younger person – Hill Street Blues – one can certainly see where the author is coming from with her analysis. In fact, maybe even, it makes the programmes more watchable or believable too in a very strange way, often transforming the dynamic portrayed into something totally different.

This book won’t be for everybody. Some will just not get the format or concept. Others will love it. Fortunately the book is reasonably priced and even if you don’t gel with the concept entirely, there is plenty of interesting advice and commentary that you could take away and utilise in the “real world.”

It is certainly worthy of a second look, in any case. You may even discover something new and interesting to watch on the telly and use the excuse to your partner that you are “studying leadership styles”…

5.0 out of 5 stars Most leadership books I have ever read are as boring as bill paying at the end of the month
Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2015
Most leadership books I have ever read are as boring as bill paying at the end of the month. I was surprised at this book because it was fun, interesting, and captured my attention. I found the TV character examples to drive home the point. I have passed the book on to my son who is in college and will benefit from the leadership principles taught.
