Likely useless for you

Author builds the book on top of a few assumptions:
1. The reader is disagreeable and needs to become more agreeable, listening and caring. Obviously false, as there are leaders of all kinds.
2. Removing minor annoyances that hurt how people perceive you would help your career and launch you forward. Obviously false for anyone who worked in big companies - no matter what you do someone would dislike you. Working on how you are perceived (instead of focusing on building professional relationships and delivering results) is just pointless.
3. Being a jerk will hurt your career. This is very intuitively obvious, but false in reality. If you are high performer, nobody cares that you are a jerk. You can scream and humiliate people, cry in meetings, ignore other people's opinions, fire them if you dislike them, and still be considered the best leader in the world. Don't believe me? Don't know who I mean? Read the biography of Steve Jobs.

Author admits that he only works with people where his methods would cause big success. He seems to be finding people who are oblivious to major flaws and uses 360 feedback to point those flaws out and turn the person "around". Then he pretends that every leader in the world has this issue and write a book with that assumption. Funny thing is, such people don't read such books.
