"Luminary Leadership: How Top Entrepreneurs Lead in Business and in Life"

"Luminary Leadership: How Top Entrepreneurs Lead in Business and in Life by Alinka Rutkowska is a great book that is all about when leadership forms in a person, what allows some to rise to the top of their fields, and the skills that are needed for a person to be able to guide others through their most difficult times. The past few years have proven to be very difficult for many people and for many businesses. Some have fallen apart and closed up shop while others rose to the top and prospered. But, what are the skills that allow some to thrive where others failed? This is the book that dives into that question and brings to light the strategies that have been used. Anyone who is in a leadership role of a business will benefit from this read. It is clearly written, does a good job of getting to the point quickly, and does not offer too much technical jargon." — Phil Bolos

"Luminary Leadership: How Top Entrepreneurs Lead in Business and in Life"

"What separates leaders with managers is the desire to motivate and influence the people around you and not just to control them. Upon reading the book Luminary Leadership: How Top Entrepreneurs Lead in Business and in Life by Alinka Rutkowska it enlightened me that being a leader does not only affect my work life but also my home and social life. The book discusses how and what leaders should be doing to grow and prosper in their environment together with their team. Aspiring for leadership qualities is as easy as developing it within yourself. It is a great motivational tool for entrepreneurs who are starting a business or even building on an existing one. Not only does it discuss how you can be a great leader but also how to create future leaders within your team. It is a great tool for self and team development. I highly recommend reading this book." — George
