New Book!
A new combined edition of Leadership for Smart People and The Leadership Event has been published. Both books emphasize our core message: leaders gain willing followers and anyone can be a leader. Leadership for Smart People: Book I provides a comprehensive description of the leader role, how leaders and managers differ, and ways to be a more effective leader.
The Leadership Event focuses on a key element of leadership in organizations: how and why anyone can be a leader and the skills necessary to create leadership at any level. The combined edition provides a well-rounded perspective about how to lead in today’s complex and changing world. Contact LeaderWB@aol.com to order a copy!
