Learn Like a Leader

Great leaders are great learners

More than a decade ago, a group of bestselling authors, thought leaders and management experts - among them Marshall Goldsmith, Beverly Kaye and Ken Shelton - met to share their defining moments on leadership with one another. So taken were they with each other's stories that an annual tradition of trading leadership secrets was established.

A recurring truth emerged: great leaders seize the opportunity to learn, again and again. Learn Like a Leader brings together these remarkable stories of learning and provides a close look at how top leaders - including Jim Collins, Warren Bennis and Dave Ulrich - were able to grow their careers, overcome setbacks and soar to the top.

Offering profound lessons from key learning moments in the lives and careers of the contributors, Learn Like a Leader conveys the power of storytelling in teaching, training and mentoring.
