Quatrième de couverture :

Leadership is a Journey – Not a Destination In the age of team management and collaboration, leadership is an essential skill that needs to be uncovered and developed, as well as applied. In this book we encourage you to bring your unique background, experiences, and perceptions to the important discussion on leadership. Through a journey of discovery, we will meld your ideas and experiences with our own to help you develop your own special style of leadership. We invite you to embark on the quest to discover your true leadership skills. We use the journey as a metaphor for how you can understand leadership over the centuries. Practicing Leadership:
