About this audiobook
"People don't want to be managed, they want to be led."
Within the first few pages of this book, you’ll realize something with new clarity: managers are a dime a dozen. Most people know or can learn how to manage. But leaders? They’re something special—and what they contribute to an organization is what sets it apart from the competition.
Effective leaders make the difference between an organization that succeeds and one that stagnates. Effective leaders make solid decisions, but they take it a step further—they bring the guidance, vision, creativity, and motivation necessary to powerfully execute the decisions. They influence behavior, shape goals, and encourage the best. An influential leader’s footprint is forever engraved on a successful organization’s heart.
The good news is that you can also learn to be the kind of leader who makes a difference. And this book—written by one of the best—will teach you how.
