What makes a great leader. There are mountains of ideas, some good, some bad, and for the most
part, entirely unusable. In this book,I want to tell you what worked for me and show you, through inspiring and important stories from those who have been there, how to plant the correct seeds and reap the harvest of knowledge.Everyone can be developed into a good leader. You have to train yourself in leadership, though; you simply can’t afford to wait to begin the process until you get promoted or get a new job.
