Just Real Leadership Talk

This book cuts through all the noise. It doesn’t try to dress up leadership with trendy jargon or overloaded frameworks. It gets back to what actually matters showing up, staying focused, and treating people right. Honestly, that hit harder than I expected. It reminded me that being a solid leader isn’t about complexity it’s about consistency. Solid read if you’re tired of the usual business book fluff.

A modern approach to leadership

What I like about this book is that it provides grounding, down-to-earth information without fluff, just fundamentals. The book's no jargon and complexity make it a nice and easy read. Being punctual is very important to me, and it’s addressed in the book along with respect and focus.

I think these are very important characteristics of any successful leader.

Leadership distilled.

Yorck Reuber's Another Book About Leadership is a return to the basics. A breath of fresh air. He boils everything down to three distinct elements: focus, punctuality, and respect. He's really onto something here.

The world is so overcomplicated and true leadership is a timeless concept. Very well done.

No Buzzwords, Just Results

Just wrapped up this book and despite the humble title, this one actually slaps. It's not the usual leadership fluff we've all scrolled past...it breaks things down clean: focus, punctuality, and respect. Simple formula, but the way it's explained? Solid. It made me rethink how I manage my time, show up for people, and lead by example even outside work. The KPIs and time management parts hit hard too, especially if you've ever juggled multiple projects and watched deadlines go poof. Whether you're running a team or just trying to not drown in chaos, this book gives practical, no BS tools that actually help you move with more purpose and less burnout.

Better habits, better leadership

This book breaks leadership down into something clear..focus, punctuality and respect. I liked how it didn't overcomplicate things but still gave real examples and tools you can actually use at work. The part that really hit me was how much time management affects success..like most failed projects happen cuz people don't respect time. That really made me think about my own habits. This is for anyone in a leadership role or even someone just trying to get better at working with a team.

Leadership depicted in various forms and what the advantages of each bring to the table.

A business requires an established cultural recipe that results in a perfect storm for success. Leadership provides the guidance, structure and expectations that a business needs in order to hit milestones and ultimate goals. I found this book to be interesting, in that in the various forms of leadership discussed, there were common themes. A good read, and food for thought!

Leadership Made Simple: Why Focus and Respect Still Win

This is a solid guide to leadership that doesn’t rely on corporate buzzwords to convince newbies that it knows what it’s talking about. The author takes his own experiences from his various careers (past and present) and uses that as a basis for how you can learn various lessons on leadership into your own corporate life. Great checklists at the end of each chapter as well.

Not Just Another Book About Leadership

I went in expecting the usual leadership fluff—and was pleasantly surprised. This book actually gets that culture and leadership aren't just buzzwords, they’re the backbone of real change. The formula (Focus x Punctuality x Respect = Success) might sound simple, but the way Reuber breaks it down and shows how to apply it through KPIs and time management really clicked for me.It doesn’t just toss out ideas—it gives you structure, examples, and straight talk on why so many projects fall apart. If you're tired of vague leadership theory and want something grounded, practical, and actually useful, this one's worth your time.

Different approach ...

This book was honestly a surprise. I picked it up thinking it would be another generic leadership read with recycled ideas, but it turned out to be way more practical and grounded than I expected. [...] What I really liked was how direct and no-nonsense the writing is. It doesn’t waste time trying to sound inspirational—it’s more like, “Here’s what works, here’s what doesn’t, and here’s the data to prove it.”
[...] It’s the kind of book that makes you reflect on how you lead or collaborate and points out some tough truths without being preachy [...]

Practical and informative

There are lots of leadership guides around, however, this small book offers practical advice to professionals who are looking to improve their leadership skills. It focuses on applying three qualities to increase leadership success. Being punctual, showing respect for others and keeping one's promise are the main aspects.

It is an interesting and useful manual that can assist career professionals to develop their leadership style and strive for more.

Align with this

Some books speak loudly. This one listens first. With quiet strength, it reminds us that true leadership is not noise, but rhythm—Focus x Punctuality x Respect. More than a formula, it’s a way of being. Drawn from cockpit, command, and culture, its insights land not as instruction but as resonance. Leadership here is presence, not performance. The military’s wisdom - Demonstrate. Imitate. Do. - becomes a transmission of trust. And when even one element drops to zero, success vanishes. This book doesn’t shout for change. It whispers the conditions for it. Read less. Align more. The signal is clear. Now it’s your move.

Practical book!

I appreciated how straightforward and grounded it was, especially the insights around time management and KPIs.

Whether you're new to leading or have been doing it for years, there’s something in here that will make you stop, think, and do better.

Not your usual leadership book

Despite the title, its actually isn’t just another book about leadership. The author ditches the fluff and drops a formula literally!! for getting stuff done: Focus × Punctuality × Respect = Success. It’s part military precision, part corporate therapy, and weirdly motivational for a book that talks a lot about KPIs.

If your team’s chaos is starting to feel like a lifestyle, this book might just be your intervention.

Leading better starts with you

I realized how focus, punctuality and respect really do set the tone for how smoothly things go..whether it's a work project or just things at home. It made me think about how I show up for others and how small things like being present and managing time well, can have a big impact.

I'll definitely apply these lessons both professionally and in our day to day family routines. It's been a simple but powerful read..

It prompted me to reevaluate how I use my time, how I support others, and how I lead through my actions—both within and beyond the workplace.

This book is ideal for anyone seeking clear, practical leadership advice that delivers real results—without the fluff.

This book speaks TRUTH!

My favorite part about the book was this: These three pillars form the foundation of the formula for success: FOCUS x PUNCTUALITY x RESPECT = SUCCESS.

I feel like so many people forget these crucial aspects of leadership. Yeah, anyone can give it a shot, but to really develop these core principles are so important.

This book has given me great insight into these traits, and I am so thankful for that!!

Proud Dad Moment

My teenage son’s teacher recommended this book, and I was honestly surprised he was interested - let alone that he devoured it in just a few days. He kept telling me about the “Focus x Punctuality x Respect” formula and how it could apply to school, sports, and life in general.

As a dad, it’s pretty amazing to see him excited about leadership and personal growth at his age.

This book clearly speaks to more than just CEOs - it’s relatable, practical, and motivating for anyone who wants to succeed.
