Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

As someone who's listened to my fair share of leadership audiobooks, Maeda's 'Redesigning Leadership' stands out. The narration duo of Nick Podehl and Kate Rudd is a stroke of genius, with Podehl's steady, reassuring tone contrasting beautifully with Rudd's energetic, enthusiastic delivery. They bring Maeda's words to life, making the listening experience a pleasure. The pacing is spot on, with Maeda's concise, punchy chapters flowing seamlessly one after the other. My only critique? I wish Maeda had delved deeper into the challenges he faced at RISD, as his anecdotes are where the book truly shines. However, this is a minor quibble in an otherwise excellent listen. If you're craving a leadership book that's refreshingly different, look no further.
