I am interested but don't have time to read a book. However, I don't think any text can change a person's opinion that is derived from experience.
I think what they're trying to describe is the concept of a person being assigned responsibilities as a follower, and owning that responsibility to the fullest, which is a something I agree with strongly. But that isn't them "leading". Ultimately you can have only one #1 priority, if everyone is leading whose #1 priority do you follow? that's where the informal power structure forms. it has the opposite effect of no one really leading, and everyone just saying they are.

"Turn the Ship Around" is fantastic. It's a short audio book (about 6.5 hours), if that's more up your alley. Definitely worth a read/listen.
The audio book is read by the author. Well worth your time imo.
Thanks, i'll have to check it out.
