Dear friend,

By this book, I hope to be able to contribute to your leadership journey in a significant way. Irrespective of your field of endeavor, I am confident that this bouquet of articles will be helpful and relevant to you.

Let me let you in on how this book came about. For a long time, I have maintained a weekly column in the Business and Financial Times newspaper in Ghana. My articles have covered a range of topics on personal development. In this book, I have selected and compiled few of the leadership articles I have published in the newspaper over the years.

My desire is that the concepts you glean from this book will accentuate your strengths, assuage your weaknesses, and accelerate your progress.
