Get the hardcopy
Found the audible book difficult to follow the various concepts. Might be better to get the hardcopy.

More like a PhD dissertation
The Author uses I way too much, And as a leader presenting information to his followers goes against what he has learned about the idea of using stories. You can do a lot better to learn about leadership by reading other books than this one.

Great overview of leadership
Would love to hear an updated version of this book with more emphasis of the phycology of the times and how that has played a role in what we consider “leadership”.

Not Very Meaty Collection of Shallow Biographies
I read as far as Eleanor Roosevelt and decided there was not enough new substance or analysis to inspire me to go on. I wrote down a few insights from the earlier chapters, but this book is primarily a collection of introductory biographies on the included persons.
Audible speaker is fine, but the delivery and content is somewhat flat. There are other books I would rather read. Disappointed as I am a long-term fan of the Theory of Multiple Intelligences.

Good content, struggle to finish
Good content but could have conveyed the same information with much fewer and simpler wordings.

Subjective and Arbitrary
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
Nothing!
What was most disappointing about Howard Gardner’s story?
Lack of empirical evidence for his claims!
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Disappointment, of course!
Any additional comments?
The books is subject to availability bias in that the author has singled out individuals that he has found exceptional in his course of life, without any scientific sampling technique, as extraordinary leaders—yet others may not find them EXTRAORDINARY at all! Further, he has explored their lives in separate chapters with stories that have already been extensively covered in the media through an overly-optimistic academic view.
