This handbook is perfect for busy leaders with little time on the job to devote to improving their effectiveness. It’s packed with concrete behaviors for becoming the type of leader others follow—more than 500 skills and 1,500 actionable suggestions that can be put to use immediately.

The authors provide a new model of leadership based on five essentials that compel people to follow. To be effective, leaders must be able to:

  • build the programs and teams required to meet those challenges

These three competencies must be grounded by two remaining essentials of leadership:

  • Character
  • Commitment
