Reviews
In this comprehensive-yet-pragmatic guide to leadership, community, and the impact that a community of leaders can make on work culture, Molinaro (author of Accountable Leaders and CEO of Leadership Contract Inc.) makes a persuasive case by digging into fresh research data, professional case studies, and personal anecdotes. The importance of building a “strong community of accountable leaders across your organization”—and each member playing their part—is demonstrated throughout, as Molinaro lays out actionable steps to improving and molding a highly effective management team that yields results.

Molinaro’s conception of leadership is clarifying and inspiring. He defines it as a decision, an obligation, hard work, and also a community, and he stresses the importance of a community of leaders in a world of ever-changing consumer needs and technological advancements where “companies need to reassess and alter their business models to maintain competitiveness.” A guide to ten characteristics of a strong community leader is illuminating as Molinaro emphasizes the importance of "breaking down silos,” presenting a united front and one-company mindset, and celebrating success and key milestones, all as a community and within both the leadership team and the entire organization. Especially helpful: Molinaro's lists of potential “blockers” of the development of community (cliques; tolerators of mediocrity; making things personal), which block progress and success, and community “accelerators,” (“support leaders who join the community”; promote cross-team sharing and transparency), which fast track progress and success amongst the community of leaders.

Community of Leaders is an inspiring, easy-to-follow guide to building a productive and effective leadership team that works together toward a common goal. Molinaro pairs a convincing exploration of why this kind of leadership is ideal for contemporary businesses with a wealth of hard-won and practical knowledge for building and maintaining such teams, all written in a direct, inviting tone.

Takeaway: Concise how-to guide on building leadership communities that point to success.
