Quiet Voice Fearless Leader: 10 Principles For Introverts To Awaken The Leader Inside

Incredible and Uplifting Book
I loved reading the book! Very inspiring and thought provoking for sure. I included a brief couple sentence snippets (hopefully they will still allow my review to post?). As part of the introduction to the book, it is eye opening (at least the me) to this about. It is put together quite solid as well. The hard cover is excellent and the pages thick enough to highlight and not see through to the back side/next page. Font size is also great, I think, right in the middle. I also appreciate how things are broken down; the encouragement that continues to be provided throughout; and that, at the end of every chapter, he includes key principles and pillars - with an action plan. I would definitely recommend for those that are the scanners in the room!

A bedside table must-have for any introvert, struggling in their journey...
I've been following Terrance Lee for a while on Instagram. So when I heard about his book coming out, I was intrigued because I had already become invested in him and his content. This book is a fantastic manifesto for introverts who are looking to be a leader in their work, family, or community. It deconstructs a lot of the stereotypes that introverts are told: we're quiet, we're shy, we're weak, we have no value, we're boring. I actually wish I had this book to read in my 20s! This would have saved me so much heartache and unnecessary stress. The book is divided by essential leadership traits which is broken down into separate chapters and sections, so it's easy to digest and absorb. I loved the personal stories from Terrance. Stories are always the best way to communicate and he really hit it out of the park on this. The personal stories were my favorite because I resonated with several of them.There are a few spelling and grammatical errors. And as a nurse practitioner, I can't help but feel the intense necessity to correct him for misspelling the ADHD medication Ritalin. HOWEVER(!), that DOES NOT take away from this 5 star review or the fantastic impact this book can have on introverts everywhere. Congratulations on a fantastic debut book, Terrance! Can't wait to see where else your journey takes you.

Has Some Good Advice, But Misses the Mark on Introversion
I don't know Mr. Lee personally, however while reading this book, it did not come across as if it was written by an introvert. It came across as an extrovert who learned to regain their confidence after an unfortunate encounter with a terrible school teacher. At best I believe Mr. Lee is an extrovert with high emotional intelligence, even his opening statements about introverts "being ok with being alone" as their defining feature is off the mark. Introverts aren't just ok with being alone, we recharge from it, unlike extroverts who draw their energy from being with people. I found good snippets of advice involving building confidence, but not wanting to speak up because you're scared is not an introverted thing, that's a social anxiety thing. I had high hopes for this book, but for someone who dubs himself "The Introverted Leader" I was unable to see that connection. It left the book feeling hollow because it's premise is off the mark. It should be marketed as a confidence building book, not one on introversion and leadership.

What an Introvert Needed
I found Quiet Voice Fearless Leader to be a breath of fresh air. As an introvert I found it to be relatable and felt in many ways like I was reading my own life story. The stories/examples are based on personal experiences from Terrance Lee. I enjoy how Terrance used the examples of his family to explain how he developed his own character which is of a standup man and leader.The layout made the book easy to read and comprehend. The Three Pillars in each chapter gives important knowledge based on the principles with a plan of action to keep growing/improving. Quiet Voice Fearless Leader proves that being an introvert is a strength and prepares us with the tools to make it our advantage.If you are an introvert, this book is meant to help guide you to your best self. If you are not an introvert, this book is to help you understand the introvert you do know. We all have a voice, some of us just need a boost to help us express ourselves….Quiet Voice Fearless Leader has answered our call.

Refreshing Read for Introverts
I found this book to be very helpful as an introvert like myself. The 10 points Lee provides are helpful, whether you're in leadership, or just a regular person like myself. Very easy to read. The stories and examples he provides helps you set into context of the 10 points he provides in the book. It's definitely a book to have on your shelf for any situation you find yourself in as an introvert.

Misleading title
I downloaded the 1st chapter for free, read it and decided I would give this book a go. Unfortunately I wasted my money.There's some good stuff and useful advice, however very very little is focused at introverts. Most chapters talk about some qualities to develop as a leader and at the end there's a tiny section trying to make it more specific to introverts, and those sections feel like a rehash from previous chapters...Unfortunately it just feels very generic and I feel I didn't learn anything new. With a title like this, there needs to be much more material and practical advice targeted at introverts and how to manage introverts.I give it 3 stars because I can see how it could help some introverts feel like they can be great leaders despite some self doubt.Additionally I could have done without all the religious chat sprinkled throughout the book. Nothing against any religion, but it felt that it wasn't necessary or relevant to the book.

Must Read for both sides - intorverts and extroverts...
Terrance Lee is a great coach; his first book is very interesting and motivating! His book contains 10 valuable principles, which are entertaining and written with his own anecdotes. There will hopefully be more books of Terrance Lee - he will be a role model like Fred Lee Sr., his grandfather... Wish Terry all the best + keep on writing.
