The author captures the dynamics of leadership so vividly (and cleverly) in the theme of the book -- flocks of migratory birds making unbelievable journeys by working together to accomplish something that they could not do on their own. These birds operate in what is a self-organizing system. For the leader who cares more about the success of the team, regardless of "who" gets the credit, this is a captivating concept.
If you're looking for "your next big thing", I would suggest that you stop looking around, take some time to consume the material in this book, and figure out how you can get the team you have to fly further, together.
