Dear Leonard. Pleasure meeting you. Just grabbed your book. Have started to read. Looking forward to finishing it. My grandfather escaped from two Nazi concentration camps in WWII. Shot twice doing so. Will leave a review. Have a great week.
Here is the review I wrote. I purchased through the Australian Amazon store. Not sure how the reviews work. Anyway. have a great weekend.
"Leading with Vision and Heart" by Leonard H. Roberts is more than a memoir; it's a masterclass in life, love, and leadership. Roberts' extraordinary path, from poignant personal situations to directing the helm of Fortune 500 organisations, is both motivating and enlightening to readers.
The way Roberts smoothly weaves his professional and personal life is a noteworthy feature of this book. He not only recounts the highlights of his career, but also dives into the joys of parenting and the anguish of personal loss, including a heartbreaking episode involving his daughter. At its heart, the memoir emphasises the value of family, with exquisite reminiscences of his nearly half-century love story with his wife, Laurie.
Roberts' account is moving, in part because of the candour with which he relates his experiences. He brings readers behind the closed doors of business boardrooms while also inviting them into private moments at the family lakehouse. His affiliation with renowned personalities such as Hank Aaron adds another layer to the story, making it complex and multifaceted.
One cannot not but appreciate Roberts' early foundation and fortitude, which unquestionably affected his success in both business and personal arenas. His uncommon ability to combine brilliance, a strong work ethic, and a fun demeanour serves as a model for leaders of various backgrounds.
Finally, "Leading with Vision and Heart" demonstrates the power of tenacity, the importance of connections, and the essential of authentic leadership. Roberts' narrative is one of victories, tribulations, and, most importantly, living a life of integrity and love. A must-read for everyone looking for insights into a well-lived life, both at work and at home.
