Lead to Excellence: The Guide to Modern Leadership

By Andrew Lee

The word leadership is used so much that it can be easy to forget what it truly means. Beyond that, the pandemic illustrated the dire need for a new brand of corporate leadership. The myopic view of position power and traditional leadership techniques are no longer applicable in today's dynamic environment. In "Lead to Excellence", Andrew Lee uses dynamic storytelling and statistics to reveal the modern guide to leadership. He takes you through his personal experiences as an employee and lays out a series of steps that any leader or aspiring leader can follow.

If you are an aspiring leader, a new leader, an established leader, or if you need to freshen up on your leadership skills, this insightful book is the best place to start. Andrew uses humor, drama, and real life situations to bring to life the importance of leadership and how it affects the employee.

Throughout the book, Andrew breaks down the definition of leadership, and provides leaders with tools on how to attract talent, create their own leadership philosophy, and much more. When you finish this book you will be inspired and motivated to "Lead to Excellence"!

It leads to stress on the individual, sleepless nights, arguments with those who they are close with and general unhappiness. Do I have your attention yet?
