The Captain Class: A New Theory of Leadership

Why I recommend it

This broadens the picture of who leads a team well. Some of the strongest examples involve steady, unglamorous work rather than a big personality.

What it changed in my thinking

Leadership can come through service, standards, and action. The most visible person isn’t always the one holding a team together.

Who it’s useful for

Team leaders, coaches, and people developing new leaders.

A tension or limitation

Sports teams and workplaces have different rules and goals. The comparisons need some care.
