One of the top 5 leadership books I've read
Would you listen to Cape, Spandex, Briefcase again? Why?
Yes, in fact I intend to listen to it at least 3 more times to make sure I've taken in the concepts that it covers.
This book covers 5 key skills that are necessary to be a good leader and relates them to the actions of superheros. The comparisons makes the concepts more memorable as well as provides examples of how they can be applied (what they look like in action).
I'm not a comic book fan, but this method of conveying the 5 leadership skills was still powerful for me and really resonated. It also made the book fun and interesting to listen to.
Which character as performed by Harry Roger Williams, III was your favorite?
I didn't really have a favorite character, they all had important roles to play in the book and how the concepts are communicated.
The narration was really well done, I loved all the character voices and the narration showed a lot of skill. It was lovely to listen to and really added to a book that would be a good read in any format.
Any additional comments?
If you want to become a leader or you're in a leadership position without having received training in how to be a leader then this book is a must read.

Great for Professionals
This was a good book for professionals and just about anyone who might find themselves leading people. There were some great tips and development goals for professionals like myself to take and expand their leadership skills.
I thought the narrator did a good job. I gave him 5 but it was more like 4.3 rounded up.
I requested and received a free copy of this audiobook from the author, publisher, or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review. I was NOT required to write a positive review and this reflects my honest opinion of the work.
Interesting Take
This was a nice quick and easy listen with valuable insight weaved in.
