"Rare Leadership In The Workplace" is a timely read, especially in a day where toxic work environments seem to be the norm instead of the exception. The title is a more basic version of the "Rare Leadership" title the authors did a few years ago (another very good title) and covers many topics on the subject, including:

- The difference between a mature and immature leader.

- How brain science is important in mature leadership.

- Four important leadership skills described with the acrostic "RARE" (remain relational, act like yourself, return to joy, enduring hardship well).

- Developing a practical action plan to become a more mature leader.

Things I liked about the book:

- Easy to read and follow.

- Good thought-provoking to ask yourself in becoming a more mature leader.

- Covers a good variety of topics.

- Good practical insights.

The authors write from a Christian viewpoint and I would have liked to have seen more examples from the Bible when making their points. In all fairness, the book is a brief read (around 130 pages) and many more biblical examples and thoughts from a Christian perspective are mentioned in their more comprehensive "Rare Leadership" book (around 220 pages). Still, a good read and recommended for getting you on the right track for becoming a better leader.

I was given a review copy by Northfield/Moody Publishers in exchange for a fair review and appreciate the opportunity.
