The essential leadership playbook. Learn the principles and guiding philosophies of Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Warren Buffett, Oprah Winfrey, and many others through illuminating conversations about their remarkable lives and careers.
For the past five years, David M. Rubenstein - author of The American Story, visionary cofounder of The Carlyle Group, and host of The David Rubenstein Show - has spoken with the world’s highest performing leaders about who they are and how they became successful. How to Lead distills these revealing conversations into an indispensable leadership guidebook.
Gain advice and wisdom from CEOs, presidents, founders, and master performers from the worlds of finance (Warren Buffett, Jamie Dimon, Christine Lagarde, Ken Griffin), tech (Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Eric Schmidt, Tim Cook), entertainment (Oprah Winfrey, Lorne Michaels, Renee Fleming, Yo-Yo Ma), sports (Jack Nicklaus, Adam Silver, Coach K, Phil Knight), government (President Bill Clinton, President George W. Bush, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Nancy Pelosi), and many others.
- Jeff Bezos harnesses the power of wandering, discovering that his best decisions have been made with heart and intuition, rather than analysis.
- Richard Branson never goes into a venture looking to make a profit. He aims to make the best in field.
- Phil Knight views Nike as a marketing company whose product is its most important marketing tool.
- Marillyn Hewson, who grew up in a fatherless home with four siblings in Kansas, quickly learned the importance of self-reliance and the value of a dollar.
How to Lead shares the extraordinary stories of these pioneering agents of change. Discover how each luminary got started and how they handle decision making, failure, innovation, change, and crisis. Learn from their decades of experience as pioneers in their field. No two leaders are the same.

Not how to lead
I think it’s a misleading title.
It’s clips of interviews is done over the years with leaders in their field. Semi interesting to listen to some of the people have the odd nugget worth listening to. However the title is how to lead and in most interviews there is no discussion on leadership and it never gets passed a cursory mention in some of the chapters.
Perhaps I should’ve read the description perhaps it’s in there. However if you’re a leader and looking on a book about how to lead and nuggets from other successful people-then this is not it.

Really great
Apart from one chapter (I don't even recall which), which had terrible audio, I thoroughly enjoyed the book. Will probably relisten to it at some point.

Entertaining and sometimes inspiring
I have listened to this book with joy. David has good humor and some if his guests as well which can lead to a good laugh.
Obviously not all guests are as interesting and I felt that especially the last several guests just didn’t have a lot to really add other than their own life story, unique to them but not as inspiring for the listener or to me at least. Thankfully there is always to fast dorward button.
Overall certainly worth the time.

Live recordings of interviews!
So pleasantly surprised, that it was not just a recording of a book being read, but instead the live recordings of those interviews.
