Book description
Wisdom for Developing Extraordinary Leaders
"This book contains a rich collection of wisdom, experience, and
insight for addressing the gaps in learning and development that the
traditional models for training, talent development, and succession
planning fail to address. As you address your own executive
development needs or those of others, we hope you'll create your own
recipe for pulling everything together. A rich stock of openness,
vulnerability, and learning readiness forms the base for developing
leadership capacity and can carry all of the ingredients that
high-performing managers need to set the table for extraordinary
leadership."Â-From the Introduction
