The Leadership Challenge - Couverture souple

"The best leaders are constantly learning. . . But there′s a catch. Unexamined experiences don′t produce the rich insights that come from reflection and analysis." from the Introduction

• Involve others in the planning and the doing, because you can′t do it alone
