Leadership is the ability to present a vision so that others want to achieve it. The best leaders use their experience, skills and personal attitudes to inspire co-operation and team work. This guide suggests that everyone has leadership potential and shows how everyday events can be use to practise leadership skills. Topics include: assessing situations; gaining and giving feedback; setting clear objectives and priorities; and taking responsibility.
This book has been fully updated for the 2002 In a Week series relaunch.
