Leader Phrase Book by Patrick Alain

BATB score: 5/10

More of an encyclopedia than a readable book. Lists of ways to open a speech, respond to an offensive colleague, close a meeting, reply to liars, accept compliments, to say 'I don't know' powerfully, and 300+ more breakdowns of day-to-day encounters.

Best as: a gift to untactful vocal leaders 🤬

Best for: new humans 🧛‍♀️🧟‍♀️🧜‍♀️ to learn how to be more human OR advanced humans 👸👩‍🎓👩‍🚀 to explore new varieties of eloquent communicative phrases to enlighten every day's dull conversations

Personal potent favourites: "I can't say anything definitive either way" aka idk "That may be the long and short of it, but it's not the end of it." aka ttyl "The emphasis must be on work." aka focus!
