Focus on Passion and Power: This book focuses on the two key, but often divergent, strengths of great leaders: passion and power. Most leadership books focus either on being a passionate, symbolic leader or on being a shrewd, political leader but few books combine both images with advice on how to achieve strength in both areas.

Actionable Advice: Contains practical advice and an assessment for readers looking to improve their own leadership skills by balancing their own internal wizard and warrior.
