This book will help you hire better people, become a better leader, get more done is less time, and ignite your team to perform to their highest potential. Mac Anderson’s storytelling writing style will teach you essential leadership skills in a memorable and entertaining format.
 
You Can’t Send a Duck to Eagle School has twenty-nine chapters, and this is just a sampling:
● Change Is Good…You Go First
● Burn Brightly without Burning Out
● The Road to Success Is Not Always a Road
● Attitude Isn’t Everything, but It’s Pretty Darn Close

“My goal with this little book is to share some of my ‘lessons learned’ in a brief but engaging way. Because so many times, it’s not what is said but how it is said that turns the switch from off to on.”
— Mac Anderson, founder of Simple Truths
 
You Can’t Send A Duck to Eagle School was an interesting read for anyone trying to hire people for their company due to its simplistic but meaningful way of phrasing thoughts and its engaging examples. It also sets a baseline for what a good leader looks like without overwhelming the reader.
 
Right off the bat the author, Mac, talks about being an attentive leader- asking what the leader could do to help the followers. It’s basically stating one should have an open policy toward employees and to listen to others around you. This goes into his next point that, as a leader, being susceptible to change is a good thing.
 
Change brings about growth but you must have clear goals and know yourself. He then talks about marketing, understanding that customers are going to go with their gut in purchases since there’s so much information overload now on the internet. That leads to knowing what you want to do, having faith in yourself and your product and again having a vision and putting your all to the manner.
 
In summary, its about having enough passion to go for what you want no matter the obstacle with an attitude of stubborn belief in yourself and the people and things that matter to you. However, where Questions of Character has examples through stories that have trial and error type situations, You Can’t Send a Duck to Eagle School uses thought provoking quotes and his own examples from personal experience as well as others.
 
There were many times while reading that many readers were struck with the points he made like for, example when he used the quote “In the end, it is important to remember that we cannot become what we need to be by remaining who we are.” -Max De Pree.
 
He used this quote while making the point that change is good and I had some revelations while reading it about myself. Many have no criticisms about the book. It was short and sweet and followed its own advice by keeping it simple. It’s unique in that front since so often I have come across leadership books that are long and sometimes to boring to get through.
 
This book is fun to read since it has so many relatable examples about people we know like Disney or for sports fans, some coaches and so on and so forth. Highly recommend the book to anyone. In fact, if you haven’t read it then you need to stop reading this now and go read that instead! Very insightful and inspirational read.
 
You won’t regret it.
