Easy, Interesting Read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Seemed to get to the heart of leadership: know your goal, provide a vision, connect with your people. I liked the treatment of empathy. The author gives practical advice on how to communicate so that people want to listen. I enjoyed the description of how people blame others.
