Synopsis
Just as in the game of golf, the old saying applies to business and leadership: How do you know if you have arrived if you never knew where you were going? Most people in positions of management and/or leadership want to do the best they can in their roles. However, few are given practical examples or standards that can be put to immediate use and have long-term impact. Becoming an effective leader isn't a walk in the park for most people. But with Don Sanders working with you, it can be compared to a walk on a golf course. This book looks at management just as a golfer would look at the first nine holes of any golf course. Each hole presents challenges and tasks, and the author's shows how to hit the mark each time. For those who aren't golfers, this is still the most practical, down-and-dirty, hands-on guide you will ever need to get ahead in the management/leadership game. The perfect gift for anyone -- man or woman -- who wants to key in on the secrets to successful leadership. Remember: 97% of America's top executives play golf. Isn't the comparison between golf and successful leadership -- leadership and success with golf -- something that you'd like to tap into?
