If you’re looking for the answers to the questions:
What makes a leader relevant?
What makes a leader respected?
What makes a leader remarkable?
The Little Book of Leadership is THE book
The true measure of any leader is resilience. His or her ability to react based on past experience, attitude, and gut feelings, respond in real time to current circumstances, and then to recover quickly and move on to new challenges with new lessons learned.
Most people don't understand that to be a great leader, it takes a person who can maintain calm and be adaptable in the middle of the business and government battlefield. Resilience is the true measure of a leader. One that is able to react, respond, and recover from existing circumstances
Jeffrey Gitomer’s Little Book of Leadership creates a new opportunity for leaders and wannabe leaders who are seeking to achieve, win, and succeed regardless of their title, their status, their place of employment, or their experience.
This newest book in Jeffrey Gitomer’s bestselling "Little Book" series transcends theory and philosophy, and gets right down to brass tacks, brass tactics, and adds a few brass balls.
