Summary of Reboot 

4.5 . 390 reviews

Short summary

Everything we know about leadership is true. It is the ability to motivate others to incredible victories and the desire to be proud of your team, and it's a good income. At the same time, everything we know about leadership is a lie. Self-doubt, tears, disappointments, and childhood traumas that prevent leaders from living life to the fullest remain behind the scenes. The book Reboot by writer and coach Jerry Colonna is an honest confession about growing up and becoming a leader. This summary will help you understand that it is okay to be scared and show weakness, even if you are everyone's favorite boss. You will learn what keeps you from unfolding your potential and get motivated to never stop on your path as a leader. ”We know that neither of us will ever really stop working; for us, working means thinking, talking, connecting, and creating. “The difference now,” he says, referring to his fifty-something self, “the difference from earlier in my life is simple: I’m no longer striving.” ~ Jerry Colonna

Leadership is the ability to learn where others hit a dead end

Listen the first key point
00:00

Leadership begins with self-exploration. You may be used to thinking of leadership as constant movement and sharing motivation 24 hours a day. But many leaders are woven from worries and fears. It is normal, and it does not stop you from becoming a good leader. Professional coach and CEO of Reboot, Jerry Colonna, believes that a good leader is primarily a good person who accepts their strengths and weaknesses and helps others.

Colonna's formula states that leadership consists of developing practical skills (ability to do the job), self-esteem (understanding who you are), and sharing experience. All of this requires a lot of dedication and often accompanies self-criticism or fear of failure. Therefore, Colonna wants bosses to engage in inner examination and learn to understand the nature of their emotions.

Radical inner exploration allows us to analyze the past and see our lives' patterns as forces that shape who we are. Understanding and acceptance make better leaders and happy and resilient people.
Successful leadership means great resilience.
Work provides our sense of security; it feeds us and gives us a roof over our heads. But work also often causes our suffering. Jerry Colonna wrote his book to help us rediscover the ability to do our jobs well, but with new strength and knowledge about ourselves. This summary will help us rethink the path of growing up, turning it into maturing. Explore the following topics: 1. Analyze belief systems from childhood and figure out your attitude to money formed from an early age. 2. Discover the moments that caused your insecurities, stress, and fears as a leader and learn how to find support from other people. 3. Reconsider the meaning of life and work, learn to accept your vulnerabilities. 4. Deal with “adult” and “leader” concepts and how they are related.
Leadership is a balance in different spheres of life and the ability to exist comfortably.
second key point

Don't try to win a real-life Monopoly; try to enjoy the game

Jerry Colonna's favorite childhood game was Monopoly. He learned that people need money to feed their families and achieve success; it was synonymous with security. Young Colonna took the game extremely seriously; growing up, he turned Monopoly into his reality. Money was his safety, and his life was a game with a constant search of winning.

Headway is the answer! No longer accumulating books I never read. With Headway, I initially chose the areas important to me such as productivity, time management, etc., and each day I'm provided several book summaries from which I devote 20 minutes or more each day reading. All of this on my phone! My life has improved with Headway. Truly my most useful app.

An excellent concept, executed well. Headway can help you retain what you've read while introducing you to the essential core of new information. It's an easier way to stay inspired, and to be reminded of the mental tools you've learned

In today’s world, we rarely have time. Between our jobs, our families are social obligations, when do we have time to grow and develop ourselves? Headway is an excellent app that gives you that time it gives you those little snippets of information that you need to direct your focus in on your life. Headway gives you a chance to find out the meat of a book that you might want to purchase and read or listen to in-depth without wasting a lot of time trying to figure out is this book for me? I highly recommend the app.

I've gotten multiple books out of the library with the intent to read them, but always have a hard time finding the time. This app has helped me finally be able to get to them. Summarized, yes, and thank goodness too! Just short enough I can finish one on my way picking kids up from school/practice, or while I'm cooking dinner. I can't wait to listen to them over the summer when we visit the beach!

It amazed me! There is the possibility to highlight the most important points of each book and instantly translate unfamiliar vocabulary. With the ability to review the searched words. It's a great way to learn more about English as well. The price is great.

I’m enjoying what I’m learning on headway.each summary comes with quotes at the end which you can save to help you remember key points. You can listen or read, I’ve found that reading puts me to sleep before I can finish but the listening feature keeps me engaged and I can finish in a brief amount of time if not one session.

Exactly what I need! I always have booklist to read, but can't committed enough to finish/start bc of too much pages. Headway is really helpful and concise with their summary. What I love the most is that the essence of the book is well crafted, so I don't only read the key points, but also there's the story and how personality of the author still well shown through the summary. Well done!
