While there a few nuggets of wisdom in there, the book is more of disorganized thoughts on leadership as opposed to a coherent message as to what leadership looks like. Also the writing style is overly informal which results in a lot of filler sentences that don‘t need to be there. The book would be reduced by a third if all the “what I mean to say”s and similar phrases were removed. He might be a great mentor/leader but he‘s not a good writer.
