The most beautiful thing about Will Lukang's "Seeds of Leadership" is the fact that he had a live scenario to illustrate all the points in all the chapters, making it not just a motivational book but one that teaches achievable steps on becoming a great leader. Another strength of the book is the inclusion of Seedling Reflections at the end of each chapter, assisting people willing to apply the techniques in the book. Also, the quotes at the beginning of each chapter make the book unique.

"Seeds of Leadership" gives a practical guide on effective leadership that produces results and increases output. Leaders are first humans, and for them to become great leaders, they have to first become great humans with admirable character. Lukang did a great job in identifying the personal behavior desirable of persons who are to become leaders and shared personal experiences of how he had cultivated these behaviors and how he had applied them in the past. He further identifies how a person can become a leader with sustained success and also plan for his successor. I will simply define this book as one of the most simple and practical handbooks on great and effective leadership.

However, I felt that some chapters should have come before the others to help the reading arrangement. For instance, I think chapter 16, which is titled 'Changing of the Guard,' should have been the chapter before chapter 19. I also consider some of the chapters too short in that they did not clearly pass the messages the author intended across.

There are no errors in this book. This shows that the book was professionally edited. For this reason and based on the positives above, I rate the book 5 out of 5 stars. I did not find anything convincing enough to remove a star for. I recommend this book to all business executives who would like to achieve successful leadership at their workplaces, all leadership coaches and mentors engaged in coaching leaders, and all persons who would like to learn effective and successful leadership from scratch.

Aspiring leaders should read the book, according to your review. I appreciate how you emphasized its usefulness and practical applications. The chapter layout point is enlightening—in a guide such as this, flow is important!

[Louis Donald]

The practical approach to leadership with real-life scenarios and the Seedling Reflections at the end of each chapter seems like a great way to help readers apply the concepts. While some chapters might feel a bit too short, the overall guide to becoming a great leader sounds solid and actionable.

[Shaniz Tobiaz]

Majority of leaders should read this book, I'll recommend it to a number.

[Pearl Flourish]

A down-to-earth and practical guide to leadership with real-life examples that make the lessons easy to apply. The structure could be improved, but it sounds like a valuable read for anyone looking to lead with integrity and impact.

[George Bastem]

A practical and insightful guide that blends real-life scenarios with leadership lessons, making it easy to apply. The reflections and quotes add a nice touch, though some chapters might have flowed better in a different order.
