STAN TOLER Knihy

Few leaders think of themselves as natural leaders, and all of them tend to fall into one of three groups: those whose leadership is taken for granted; budding leaders who are relatively untested on the job; and untrained leaders who, regardless of their job experience, have found themselves suddenly thrust into a leadership position and feel very insecure. The Five Secrets of an Exceptional Leader calms the fears and boosts the confidence of all untrained leaders and serves as a refresher course for seasoned leaders. Written as an engaging, down-to-earth dialogue, this book uses conversations between a young businessman and retired man who has led in church, business, and philanthropy. Their one-on-one dialogue reveals proven, common-sense leadership principles and instruction on how to lead holistically with your heart and soul. The result is leadership excellence.
