A sleek and inspiring book on the essential traits of an effective leader
In the realm of leadership, advice varies across different professions, making it challenging to find universal guidance. However, Damon Lembi, CEO of Learnit, a technology instruction company, unveils a refreshing perspective in his book, “The Learn It All Leader,” breaking down the gritty, hard-working truth of effective leadership.
To be a leader, Lembi emphasizes the need for self-adjustment, honest introspection, tough decision-making, and getting the most out of employees. This book encourages business owners and leaders to shift their mindset from stagnancy and power to adaptability and lifelong learning.
Divided into two parts, “Being” and “Doing,” the book places equal importance on mindset change and the practical aspects of finding and training employees. It provides numerous examples of how to apply these principles, presented with crisp and entertaining storytelling. Whether drawing from the author’s impressive baseball career or his experience at the helm of Learnit, the concepts are easily grasped and can be adapted to various situations.
While the book’s principles and concepts are its core strengths, Lembi’s writing style works wonders in ensuring their easy understanding and relatability. His storytelling seamlessly intertwines with the core principles, resulting in a smooth and educational read. Readers will undoubtedly develop a newfound appreciation for tackling challenges with confidence and enthusiasm. The book consistently reminds readers that the journey isn’t complete upon reaching the top but continues until one departs for good.
Leadership examples range from sports to Learnit, along with references to books and quotes from famous leaders throughout history. Lembi, embodying the principles he advocates, demonstrates a voracious appetite for reading and learning—an essential attribute for someone emphasizing lifelong learning as a key to success.
At times, the book might come across as a bit self-focused, with an underlying tone of “This is what I do, and it works.” However, it never feels like mere bragging. While the book may not break significant new ground in terms of leadership techniques, as there are others who have been in the field for a while, newcomers to leadership roles will find it helpful, clear, and motivational.
“The Learn It All Leader” is packed with practical advice that will inspire leaders and aspiring leaders to continue learning, growing, and thriving. Lembi’s book serves as a guide for those aiming to become effective leaders who embrace lifelong learning as a core principle.
