Subject: The new paradigm for leadership is not about tactics to get people to do what you want them to do; it is about a strategy where people align themselves to leadership virtues - The Great 8 - that will transform and launch people to fulfill their greatest potential. But for every virtue, there is a vice - and all it takes is one vice to bring down a leader (or even an entire team). As a leader, you have at your disposal all of eight virtues that provide a strong defense against the vices. If the eight virtues are consistently applied to your company, you can achieve sustainable performance for all stake holders, and The Great 8 shows you how to do it. David Harper is an entrepreneur and business leader who has personally battled with how to put these virtues into action. This book provides a roadmap for you to win your ongoing battle to become a leader of greater influence and impact. ~ AMAZON.
