Publisher's Synopsis
WHAT MAKES A LEADER?
"Leadership is an elusive concept. Nearly everyone is certain that he or she would like the mantle of leadership-whether at home, at work, in competitive events, or all three-but we rarely think through the implications. One of the first questions that requires asking is: Who do you seek to lead and why?"
With the opening words of his introduction, popular voice of alternative spiri®tuality Mitch Horowitz begins his journey into some of history's greatest ideas and insights about what makes a leader-and what is required of you to earn that appellation. These works are designed to help you distinguish between function®ing as a mere boss and being a true leader, a title to which many aspire but few understand. The insights in The Leadership Bible help place you among the few. In this collection, Mitch assembles:
