No other subject determines the rise and fall of nations, organizations, families, and even individuals as leadership. No other topic determines whether people and the organizations that they work for will live up to the promise of their potential. And no other topic guarantees the future of the next generation as leadership. But how do leaders ensure that they inspire people to achieve extraordinary results for their organizations and constituencies? That's what this book intends to address.
