“Jewel” to be passed on from generation – generation,
Hap Klopp has passed along a “Jewel” which he created with first hand experiences in both business and life. Klopp connects with reader using personal stories that include hard-work, adventure, and lots of fun. Klopp addresses subjects that we all encounter irrespective of our backgrounds, age, gender, religion and preferences. Few examples are:
* Beyond Profit “Profit is one measurement”. Organizations should be measuring employee energy level, satisfaction and creativity.
* “Friends tell you when you are going wrong”. It is important to find people that can be honest with you and guide you through good and bad times.
* “People want to be led; they want a vision to follow”.
* Quality control using statistical tools to weed out defects is not the solution. Raising the bar to the highest standard is the best way forward.
“The Adventure of Leadership” truly delights!!

Life-changing advice & fun to read,
Hap Klopp started The North Face. I’ve got one of those coats, and it is great. So is this book. You will not believe how cool this guy is, and how inspirational AND irreverent he is in the context of building a spectacularly successful business. He quotes Jack Kerouac, he rubs shoulders with the world’s most daring adventurers, and he works harder and smarter than anyone around him. His advice is spectacular because it feels so real. The people he writes of are the people doing some of the coolest things in the world – in business, sports, adventuring and other areas. He loves his employees. He has fun. Get this, he smokes pot and has been drunk. He’s also been the first one in the parking lot for decades. Work hard, play hard – Klopp thinks that leading people is about emotional connections and shared visions. This is great stuff. If you really want to lead people – or find your way – in modern America, you’ve gotta read this book. Really, I’m telling you – wow! It’s that good.

If you are looking at a new perspective on leadership, read this book,
I read this book in a weekend, it was disappointing that I read it so fast because I enjoyed it so much. Klopp definitely hit the bullseye with this book. He effectively passes on his knowledge of leadership through stories of real people from his years as an entrepreneur. In each case, he provided the perfect level of detail how these people meet and overcame obstacles with strong leadership and a creative attitude.
If you are someone who is looking for a book that provides great insight on leadership, you have found it, I just wish it was longer.
