Authentic Leadership Listener Reviews
-
" Recommended by Maureen Sullivan. If you're feeling like you can't be yourself and be a boss or (for lack of a better term) inauthentic at work, this is a nice read. I don't know that it solves any issues, but it gives some hope. "
— Dianna, 11/11/2013 -
" "More auto-biography than really explaining authentic leadership; a lot of stories to try to relay some points, but they don't convey the point that well. "
