How we Lead matters. Reflections on a life of leadership. Marilyn Carlson Nelson.  2008. ISBN 9780071600170.   Marilyn Carlson Nelson was CEO of Carlson, which had brands such as Radisson, Regent, carlson Wagon Lit Travel, T.G.I Fridays, Carlson mMarketing, and other hotel chains.  This little book is very inspirational and  useful for any leader.  She goes beyond the obvious platitude method by applying every idea to a situation  she faced.   I also enjoyed that each idea was prefaced by a short famous quotation that was vey apt. I found myself re reading the quotation after the article as well.  The kind of book you put on your bedside table to ispire you each day. It does not have to be rushed through – but savoured.  Truth has no need to be wordy.
