Mike is straightforward and challenging. He wrote this book from the standpoint of the leader he challenges you to become. He does not apologize for asking you to look at yourself in the mirror and be honest about the reflection. Unlike other leadership books I've read that talk about strategy or conflict resolution, Mike talks directly to you and asks you if you can really handle the job.

Mike Staver's book should be "table stakes" for any new manager or aspiring leader. His straightforward approach to leadership is authentic and transparent. He deals with the way the world is and not the way you want it to be. The messaging, guidance and examples can all be put into practice tomorrow. Read this book and then wish you could go back a year to deliver outcomes that will re-define you in business and your personal life.

Great advice and stories based on real-life leadership examples. I found it particularly helpful during this uncertain time. This book is a great resource for leaders challenged to make decisions that will impact their teams and customers during the healthcare crisis.

Do You Know How to Shut Up?

As a leader, the best place to be is firmly outside your comfort zone. In Do You Know How to Shut Up?, Mike shares 52 unapologetically honest life lessons that will push you to look at your life and organization in revolutionary ways–and yes, make you a little uncomfortable. Turns out meaningful growth comes from trying new things and even setting goals that scare you.

A fantastic resource to enrich your personal and professional life.... Mikes book contains practical suggestions to keep our personal & professional energies in perspective. The content is direct and to the point without 300 additional pages of fluff. This book is a fantastic reference guide to help maintain life in a positive momentum.

This is one of the best "self-help" books I have ever read. Mike does a great job of getting right to the meat of the subject without all of the fluff I usually find in other self-help books… I consider the book almost a "daily devotional" for any one in leadership, business, government, education, or anyone who wants to better themselves. Beware however, Mike gets right to the core of the issue so only read the book if you truly want to improve yourself!

As a friend of mine would say, this is a "quick and dirty" (in the most positive sense!!) instructional guide on how to handle all sorts of communication issues. I chose to purchase this book because it has the how-to's and succinct steps to handle the situation...not like some books that merely describe the issue without any action steps.
