The Leadership Challenge

Five practices and ten commandments of an outstanding leader.

A book about how outstanding leaders manage to turn words into actions, vision into reality, obstacles into improvement, disunity into cohesion, and risks into rewards; about how important the figure of a leader is for creating a beneficial climate in a company, where any challenges are turned into success.

This is a manifesto for effective leadership, based on research and written by leading experts in the field of leadership. The book positions leadership as a skill that you need to learn, and as relationships that you need to cultivate in order to realize your potential. You will learn how outstanding leaders reach great heights, how to develop your leadership skills to deliver quality results every day, and how to grow these skills within yourself.

A good leader achieves their own; a great leader sets goals, inspires others, and achieves more. This book highlights the difference between a good and a great leader and shows how to bridge the gap between doing your job and doing your job exceptionally.
