About this title

Synopsis

Everybody wants quick, practical information that will aid them to become successful in whatever they do. Learning quick management tools is easy but leadership is more of a challenge as it¿s as much about who you are than a set of skills. As much about how you do it as what you do. The Leadership Manual is the first practical reference guide for busy professionals, managers and entrepreneurs that addresses both sides of the leadership challenge ¿ your authentic self and your skills.

The authors have surveyed a large number (500) of leaders in a mix of organisations to identify the key challenges, problems and issues that individuals say they face ¿ this manual addresses those questions.

The Leadership Manual provides fast, practical information, suggestions, ideas and steps to encourage the reader to use their full leadership potential in every situation they face at work.
