Buxton is obviously familiar with—and at ease with—the real-world problems faced by leaders both at home and at work. The connections he makes between David’s journey and the challenges of contemporary leaders flow naturally, with no far stretch of the imagination required.
There is always a substantive take on the challenge of leadership today, followed by thoughtful questions that invite the reader to go deeper. Buxton somehow or other manages to nudge the reader to take seriously the invitation to a more reflective engagement, a more mature self-awareness, a more honest look in the mirror.
