Riassunto

The most valuable people in and around an organisation are often the most difficult to manage.

They are the “elite” - executives, highly educated professionals, investors, board members, experts in critical functions and others - whose special talents or positions give them unusual power and independence from those who seek to lead them.

Leading Leaders shows the reader how to develop one-on-one, up-close-and-personal relationships with these movers and shakers and how to leverage their expertise for better decision making.
