Hands-on coaching on developing a core set of leadership skills. Jo Owen doesn"t seek to define what makes a good leader. Instead, he asks "How can people learn to lead?" He interviewed more than 1,000 leaders worldwide to identify 50 essential skills which all leaders need to develop. In "The Leadership Skills Handbook," he presents them as practical tips, exercises and examples. Presented in workbook format, the book allows readers to develop their own formula for success by recording notes and real-life experiences.
