There are plenty of books on leadership- from how to lead to how not to lead; however， this book builds on 5 major areas that are key for you as a leader and you get to tackle each area per week。These 5 key focus areas are: perspective， purpose， priorities， plans and performance。Now， what's even better is that each week （7 days） has 7 challenges to help you assess your strengths and weaknesses and build on them。This is the kind of book I'd recommend as a guide， a companion best suited when you k There are plenty of books on leadership- from how to lead to how not to lead; however， this book builds on 5 major areas that are key for you as a leader and you get to tackle each area per week。These 5 key focus areas are: perspective， purpose， priorities， plans and performance。Now， what's even better is that each week （7 days） has 7 challenges to help you assess your strengths and weaknesses and build on them。This is the kind of book I'd recommend as a guide， a companion best suited when you know growth requires time and other investments。It's easy to read， insightful and you'll enjoy it as well。Thanks Netgalley for the eARC。 。。。more
