Very dry and slightly outdated. This is coming from a lawyer; dry and outdated is my life, but this is not what I look for in a book I read on my time off of work.

Some essays were better or more pertinent for me than others, but nearly all of them made me step back and re-evaluate how I behave in an organization - with regard to managing direct reports, my boss, etc.

My favorites:
Leadership That Gets Result
One More Time (Motivation)
Fair Process
Teaching Smart People To Learn

Has totally influenced how I think about my manager style and choices. Highly recommend up and down the workplace ladder.
