Reviews for The Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership

[jpsnow · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

This workbook accompanies workshops based on the authors' popular book, or it stands well on its own as a series of thought exercises to guide the aspiring leader. There are a lot of exercises, such that it is most helpful to do a few at a time. Personally, I found the quotes distributed throughout the book as tangible as anything else.
