how to lead yourself and others to greater success

"From three leadership experts with military backgrounds, a blueprint for discovering leaders within the corporate ranks Pinpointing leaders is not an easy task. Every manager knows that within their organization, there are certain key employees who are "sparks"--Those rare individuals who have a natural drive to not only get the job done, but to go far beyond what is called for. These special employees truly get more done in a day than others can accomplish in a week or more. These "sparks" are the unique and essential people in your firm who can help transform your company in all sorts of magical ways. And it's your job to find them, to empower them, and to enable them to become the true leaders that they are destined to become. Based on hard-earned insights and case studies gleaned from their military experience as well as corporate leadership training, authors Angie Morgan (U.S. Marine Corps), Courtney Lynch (U.S. Marine Corps), and Sean Lynch (U.S. Air Force) reveal how you can pinpoint the sparks within your ranks, and how you can unleash them to take your company to the next level"--, Provided by publisher"A direct and highly prescriptive work for any manager or executive who is eager to find and pinpoint those employees who have the potential to become real "sparks" in their organization, those highly motivated individuals who bring a "can-do" approach to their careers"--, Provided by publisher
