The #1 Shift to Move from Management to Leadership

The #1 Shift to Move from Management to Leadership: Converting complexity to clarity may be the most critical competency to move us from management effectiveness to leadership excellence. In his book, Beating the Global Odds, Paul Laudicina, managing partner and chairman of the board of A.T.
