The main take away from this book is to enjoy, love and KNOW what you're doing as far as leadership goes. The inspiring part takes care of itself when you are real and authentically "into" your business and care for the people who work for you. You don't have to pay them extremely well, but the passion you have as a manager comes out through their accomplishments. Fun to read and you get inspired to be a better manager when you're done reading. I got this because a friend recommended it as a quick reference to keep me excited about my job. By being a good manager, your motivation speaks through your employees by their productivity, great simple steps to do so in this book. bravo!
