Samenvatting

"Are leadership books allowed to be called 'page turners'? If so, this is one of them. Compelling reading, there's something to learn on every page."

Mark Henderson, Chief Executive of Home Group

 

POWERFUL TOOLS FOR DYNAMIC LEADERS

 

Inspiring leaders are few and far between, yet we always know when we’ve met one. They leave us feeling engaged, motivated and ready to give that extra 10%.

 

This book outlines the essential skills you need to become that leader, getting the most out of the people around you and boosting your own career and performance along the way.
